NWA, Delta pilot clash blocking merger

[Freight Dog]

OK, I get it. But I should give up my expectations to be CA on the 744 or 787. Now you make sense!

Tell me you're joking...

This is like arguing about giving up expectations of being a captain on A320 for B737-800.

What I'm saying after 4 mergers is that all a pilot brings to a merger is his union membership and how long he has worked for the airline. That seems to be the only true measure of his or hers contribution to the merger. Anything else is pure speculation and or greed. ALPA should have had a method set in stone years ago.

I happen to agree with you. Almost anyone junior to you doesn't. Its the ALPA way, and now that the big airlines are merging ALPA is proving that they don't have what it takes to govern with relevance.

ALPA's negligence (or opportunism) to establish and protect seniority may well get them a name as infamous as Lorenzo. There will be a follow on editions to "Flying the Line" and ALPA won't get to be the editor.
