Pure % based with at least 5-10 year fences around bases and equipment. If you are 50% with your current company then you will be 50% on the combined list but fenced into your airlines fleet and bases. Lets try to keep this civil.
I don't fully understand the "fence" rules. I'm a 3rd year Cal F/O; if we merge with United, would it be years before I could bid into one of their bases?
A friend of mine is a '97 hire at American and he was able to bid across the fence into St Louis (former TWA base), but he gave up some relative seniority.
Would it be the same deal, or are there endless possibilites in the way the groups are integrated?
