As I understand after talking to union leadership today, the domicile issue was going to happen regardless as both UAL and CAL MEC had no contractural leverage in this area. Would'nt be surprised if the CLE 737 hub is next on the list.
I agree as this has been the plan all along, employee feelings be damned. Yes, they could earn employee good will by caring about the issues Stoops mentioned regarding displacements, commuting and shifting of flying. However, we all know the management at most companies don't answer to employees, they answer to shareholders. Those same shareholders want this merger to be done and successful and not necessarily in that order if the successful part can be quantified with money.
Just take a look at Jeff's "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" message he sent out today. The intentions of the company are very clear with the following:
...we will make substantial fleet reallocations around the system...
