Wrong. You weren't there so whoever is feeding you that and the part about Comair and ASA MECs demanding DOH is either a liar or passing on a lie.
People that I trust were there, and all are in agreement about what happened. Were you there?

Were you there?
Yes, I was.
Are there any logical reasons why one list, perhaps with fences, would be a bad idea for pilots?
How much will it cost? Who cares? Is there anyone who doesn't think that this is the best possible time to ask for and get changes?
I think you'll find that a lot of the senior Captains at your airline will raise a big fuss about being stapled to the bottom of the mainline list....there are plenty of 20+ year regional guys that think they're owed a widebody left seat if an integration takes place.
So after you say it should be done no matter what the cost, you suggest it shouldn't be done because there are 20+ year Captains at Eagle who may feel DOH with fences is appropriate?
You're saying that single list merger negotiations at AA are impossible because some Eagle pilots will think a staple is unsatisfactory?
I think you'll find that a lot of the senior Captains at your airline will raise a big fuss about being stapled to the bottom of the mainline list. As much as some RJDC supporters like to deny it, there are plenty of 20+ year regional guys that think they're owed a widebody left seat if an integration takes place.
If a few 20+ year oldsters get their feathers ruffled, so be it. TFB.
Amen to that.
Hi!
And the old guys who are stapled will get to fly (at least) 5 more years which will help them with their retirement situation.

I was merely answering the man's question about who would be opposed to such an idea. I'm not saying that it shouldn't be done because of that. To the contrary, I think it should be done...
So if a regional guy proposes consolidation within the brand, it's a seniority grab but when the mainliners do it, they're saving the profession.
Did I get that right?
Are you really this dense, or do you just pretend to be? Trying to weasel your way into 20 years of mainline seniority is a seniority grab. That's what your RJDC buddies tried to do. A mainline group trying to negotiate for a single list isn't a seniority grab, because they already own the seniority. Really, this isn't that complicated.
It isn't fair for a 20 year RJ pilot to bump a 777 pilot out of his seat....... AND it is EQUALLY unfair for a mainline newhire to bump that same 20 year RJ pilot out of his seat..... which is what a staple does....
