To be clear, the stapling wasn't quite at "the bottom" of the list as there were a few hundred AA pilots below the TWA pilots when the merger actually occured (who are still furloughed 9+ years later).
However, this is an extremely controversial topic which has been argued vociferously, vehemently, and very nastily in a dozen other forums.
Lets let it settle a bit further into the dust before we discuss it as 'history' because it certainly isn't 'nostalgic'.
