BH - You sound like a management pilot.
Lucky to have a job does not wash anymore. Either the combined company has decent terms and conditions (and yes we will probably lose some of the more farcical disruption payments) or it will end up with far fewer pig pilots than it thought. Then the company will find itself lucky to employ pilots....the 145s etc still have to be flown for the next 15 months until the leases expire...checkout the cost of disposing of them before then (BALPA have all the details).
Interesting link comparing company vital statistics.
