Subsequently, the AS pilot group put Dan Katz, the lawyer who represented Jet A on retainer in case another merger went down. I'm not sure if they still retain him or not.
Remember in those days AS was a 700 pilot airline with a 5 year Captain upgrade. Things are different today and I'd expect there will be a good bit of unhappiness with the ultimate result.
But, then, they say a good SLI is when EVERYBODY is upset with the result.

You will end up having people senior to you that have less longevity. Many of us have been in that exact same position. It’s your choice to either accept it or have it consume your life.

That was SWAPA v ALPA. No merger policy. This will end up +/- 5% relative seniority from where everyone is now on their respective lists. Sorry but DOH isn’t relevant in an ALPA-ALPA merger.

I know ALPA really wants us to get this right. Although there is no way it will be perfect there are many ways to protect quality of life and base position. I personally would be fine with straight relative seniority as long as the SEA and PDX base position list were protected with date of hire.
I am confident that when this is all said and done SFO BPL will not have changed and equally confident BPL in PDX,SEA,ANC,and LAX will stay intact going forward. Alpa really wants to protect the careers we expected to have prior to the merger. If you are at Alaska wanting some super seniority in SFO that is not going to happen. If you are a senior 320 CA expecting to transfer to SEA and hold AUS turns, you also are going to be very disappointed. To be honest it’s what we all should want, the career we expected uninhabited by this merger. I am very hopeful we will get there.
