Maersk/Sterling Any layoffs?
How is the atmosphere in the new company? any layoffs? will there be a bloddy fight over seniority? Or will this merger over in a flash with no reported turbulance, smooth as silk, and a model of all mergers. (the first in history)

Right - the official word is that only about 130 jobs will be lost (others secured through Star Air and sale of the freight business to SAS). No flight crew jobs lost, in fact Sterling wants to increase the fleet.
