767300ER: Your loss of seniority is your "payment" for having a job at AA, because TW would have run out of cash on its own....Which is to say that beggars can't be choosers. But the elected Billy Goats running ALPA are largely responsible for the carriers' biased seniority intergration. As to UA: It's a goner. AA will prosper and for the most part will fill UA's vacuum in the South Pacific, reintroducing service to Australia. Wait and see.
