I am sure that all the Captains at ASA/Comair will love to go to the bottom of the seniority list with the one year probation and the associated paycut. They have no dreams of somehow finding themselves climbing up the ladder based on some list integration sceme. And all those guys right out of college with 50 hours of ME time can just walk into Delta, bypassing the thousands of better qualified applicants who have worked theis butts off to get this far.
Hey boys and girls. Do the UPAS thing, fill out your application, and wait to be called alongside your peers. Just my 2 cents worth.
