Your kidding right? That's what this whole merger was about - synergies, or your "efficiencies". And once again we're subsidizing most of them in one way or another. But far be it from management and cool-aid gulpers like yourself to envision repaying the pilot group from the
billions in synergies to be made in this merger. Not that I suscribe to the "the pie is only so big" theory (I don't), but please refer to the quarterly profits thread and I think you'll see their "bottom Line" is just fine - to the tune of somewhere north of 8
billion in cash. And you don't think we're efficient enough? Time to repay the concessions both pilot groups have been laboring under for years now...
