I can't imagine why we wouldn't get something like that in a blended company.
I know that our respective MECs have been talking in the past, and I would guess that if all this merger stuff is true that they're already talking. Unfortunately, I doubt our MECs will be able to agree on a joint contract/seniority list without an arbitrator. I fear that when we do try, per ALPA policy, that we'll likely just insult each other, which is going to stir the pot of "us vs them" which will then lead to some hard feelings. If I were king, I'd just go straight to arbitration.
I know the guys I fly with aren't looking for some sort of windfall, nor am I. The only CAL and UAL pilots I could care less about are our respective scabs. Too bad we can't staple them to the bottom of whatever list we come up with then furlough them.
