Shouldn't my time spent in my career there be worth something? Why would I be placed on the "list" junior to someone else who has continuous employment at AWA but very junior to me?
yes, it should. But you assume that your career is somehow worth more than the career of a AWA pilot who you say is "junior" to you. First of all, junior is a relative term. The "junior" pilot on any companies seniority list is the junior pilot, whether he had two months or 15 years. Second, why do you assume your career is worth more than a pilot at AWA with continuous employement? Could be that "junior" AWA pilot was a former USAir pilot who saw the writing on the wall and bailed out for an airline where he would upgrade quicker. Should he be punished because he chose to move on while you chose to sit around waiting for recall at USAir?
I think the USAir pilots should be given consideration for the fact that they will experiance a lot of retirements in the future and also for the fact that they have widebody international flying while AWA does not. But sorry, I don't think your time, continous or not, on the USAir list amounts to anything. A junior FO is a junior FO, whether you were hired in 1990 or 2000. Date of hire means nothing unless you stay at one company. What has happend since you DOH is what matters in a merger.
