I don't think any of that is gonna float. You didn't use DOH with Republic, did you?Sure did. Every Greenbooker at NWA has their original DOH from Republic or earlier. No bump no flush.You had a 20 year fence, and still didn't do DOH.WRONG....See above. And, as our lawyer and your A320FO pointed out, attrition has NEVER been used in any merger case. How about relative seniority and then a 10 year fence. Sounds better, because in 10 years a lot of us will still be here, and DOH doesn't work. It never has in any ALPA merger---it has never been done. As our lawyer pointed out and your 747 Captain pointed out, you never have used it yourself, until you are the smaller entity.Smaller entity? Did you miss the part where Bloch said the arbitrators are considering this a MERGER of equals?
Bye Bye
Did we ever say we were NOT a merger of equals? You may have thought that, since you are smaller, have fewer employees, have less planes, and older planes, some of which are going away. Bloch wants us to negotiate this, and he said the same thing on the first day. That is why we came up with a seniority list that was "in the middle"---not a Staple job. If we thought you were inferior, we would have done something totally to the right, just like you did with your DOH B.S. that has NEVER happened in ALPA merger history. It was done with RATIOs, not DOH. Yes, the Republic guys kept their DOH, but they were slotted with ratios.
