While I agree with you that a lot of this is just pissing in the wind, it does have merit, imo, because if we as SWA pilots don't rebut some of your AAI guys assertions about "the law says this and that", you might actually convince your group to take a hard line and vote a fair compromise down and take this to arbitration, based on ridiculous interpretations of the law such as "relative seniority". Which, imho, will not be a good way to start our collective future together, no matter how the integration turns out.

PappaWoody,
I wouldn't worry about us voting down a fair compromise. The problem is we just disagree on whats fair. I am sure most of the SWA guys are reasonable just as most AAI guys are. It would seem that from some of the SWA posters on here the only thing fair would be a staple. I don't see that as fair and don't think an arbitrator will either. Then you have the same with some of the AAI guys here. I think the weird thing about SLI is that one model would be good for the senior while screwing the junior and vice versa. If our unions put out a fair deal I am sure it will pass with big numbers. If not the arbitrator step in. All the mud slinging here although funny is pretty much useless.
