American Airlines has always made the merger of pilot groups a simple task. The airline that is "bought" is merely stapled to the bottom of the list.
Not so fast: Some TWA pilots got stapled to the bottom of the list, others went high up on the combined list and kept flying as captains. They also got to the top of AA's 12 year pay scale instantly.
Needless to say, you don't hear many complaints from the TWA guys who ended up as wide body AA captains instead of saying: "Would you like fries with that Sir?"
