Feel better there kid?
Sling your insults if it makes you feel better...your day of reckoning is coming...you can sling gear for me anyday chump. Your unearned ego will be your downfall, and I won't be buying you any beers to drown your sorrows.
By the way we can totally look at longevity...it's how you side chooses to twist it to fit their rationale.
Time not active = no time.

Really? Well they have been coming back and still are. Many of them had more longevity on the merger date than a 2005 hire.
Plus those pesky 1995-1998 hires (about 3,500 of them) that were never furloughed and have 15-18 years of longevity. You can't really think a 2005 hire at the "narrow body gauge airline" is going to be granted an additional 10 years of longevity over the pilots from the "widebody airline".
I'm betting the arbitrators use ALPA merger policy. Others are praying they completely ignore it.

Ok, I went to the ALPA.org site and, of course, couldn't find the new merger policy. The old policy had, if I remember correctly, 5 things that they considered. Could someone post what the new policy contains. Also keep in mind, that while you want the arbitrators to follow ALPA merger policy they can essentially do what they want now that it is in their hands. That was the big drawback that was explained to us over and over. That is also why we wanted three arbitrators versus just one.

Here's an article from ALPA that summarizes the revised policy.
FWIW, one of the three arbitrators in DAL/NWA is the head arbitrator in our case so what is old is new again.

Sorry...I didn't mean to upset your delicate sensibilities. How about I just say "Please read some accurate historical records with an open mind, re-evaluate your assumptions and beliefs, and then make more believable contributions to this forum. Or else you will continue to appear less than credible. Thank you for kindly considering my observations."
