Maybe you might want to wait and see if 1) there is a merger announcement and 2) what the response is by the UAL pilots/MEC before you blaspheme people and accuse them of wanting to "rewrite ALPA merger policy".
Maybe I mis-read what you are trying to say - then you can correct me. But who or what are these "certain UAL pilot circles" you seem to be privy too? And even if the two people you know in this "certain circle" said something over beers one day, or pontificated about merged lists, so what? They don't represent UAL ALPA, or equal a legal challenge, or mean anything. There are multiple types of "certain circles" of pilots, or cops or firemen or whatever with all kinds of different views. Does that mean EVERY UAL pilot or cop or fireman must feel the same way?
I know many "certain UAL pilot circles" and they "often state" they hope a CAL merger would get rid of the immoral, corrupt, incompetent UAL manglement and get back to running an airline. Nobody I know has said anything about changing ALPA merger policy. Remember, UAL pilots went thru the ill-fated UAL/AAA merger attempt in 2000 and saw a pilot group advocate something along the lines you just mentioned. Not imaginary but real.
And what's with the little
emoticon thrown in there?
How about we wait and see what happens before we throw stones, especially over imaginary BS...
