Not sure about previous methods, but when I was hired in '00, we were not given a longevity date until the first person in our class finished OE. So each class has a hire date, and an "adjusted longevity date" that was used for pay bumps. During the merger, we were restored for furlough time, but only in reference to our adjusted longevity date.

Come on sink.........it isn't crap!
I've always been thankful for the raise but neither of us is where we were or where we should be so lets don't pat ourselves too much.
I agree with Super, I have no beef with the SLI. As NewK and I have said numerous times, us '95 guys keep our mouths shut when the SLI comes up for good reasons.
But, everything else, while over the top, is true. I understand adopt and go and confuse the small number than the big number. But, you have to admit, the division of labor in this marriage has just $ucked. From procedures to bidding to uniforms to insurance (and the list goes on) you guys have never said "it's cool guys, we've got this one just relax".
Over time, I've come to believe "adopt and go" is just code for "let the NWA guys do it." I'm ok so far, but please don't blow sunshine up my buttocks.
Rant over!

I agree with most of what you have to say, but from reading this guys rant I bet he can find a way to make anything seem bad. Maybe this guy got hosed, maybe he is just a negative kind of guy but either way it does not matter. You can pick guys from both sides who got a raw deal - it is impossible to do a merger where everyone gains.
As far as carrying the Lions share of the merger burden - hands down it goes to the North guys - South guys by North guys a beer on your next layover.

TOGA how do you grieve something that is black and white in the PWA?
DFR? Against who? The NWA MEC which is no longer in existence?
