For the status list first you need to stovepipe everyone into their highest paying seat they can hold at their starting company. Then feather together the Airbus CAs for both companies (roughly 9 NK for every 10 JB). Then come the A220 CAs, E90 CAs, feather together the A320 FOs from both companies then 220 FOs and 190 FOs.
I bet the final list looks just like that, if the merger makes it that far. Of course both sides will fight for better, but the arbitrator’s list shouldn’t be much of a surprise.

That would be true if status had 100% of the weight, but you have to factor in the 60% of weight towards DOH.

So someone that’s currently a FO at Jetblue for QOL purposes but could hold A320CA, that has no bearing at all usually correct?

Relative is fair. Top 10 at either you stay top 10 combined.

You can do a pure DOH/Relative Seniority without carving out aircraft. Again, there are no widebody or regional jets at either airline. Run a stovepipe list for both sides and play with the %s and come up with a list that both sides hate. Then you'll know you have the right list.

Agree. Plus, the E190s are retiring, AND, a JB A220 pays more than a NK A320. So maybe all NK A320 CAs get slotted behind all JB A320 AND A220 CAs?

Kidding, I think, but makes the point.

Your actual position doesn’t matter all.

Valid comparison, um nope. You guys just signed in a LOA with a 3% raise that are your current rates as of 5-1-22. You think the company is actually going to negotiate now? Why would they...you bent over for the AA stuff and now that they got what they needed from you, good luck. Like I said Sun County has better rates than you do.

Hey Troll...nice to meet you. Feel free to come back when you have a better (any) understanding of what the LOA 17 was about and what the company agreed to. It has zero to do with Section 6. But I suspect you knew that and but it didn't fit your narrative.

Relative would be detrimental to B6… A 2007 B6 guy is the same as a 2015NK.
