Personally I think we both would have been just fine without this messy merger but its all conjecture. Apples and oranges from this point on anyway's as we'll never know what truly would have occurred without tying the knot.
As Snake sagely pointed out, SLI is in the hands of our Merger Committee's and shortly after that, the ALPA arbitration process. All the chest-thumping in the world won't change that no matter how hard everyone on here tries.
Sit back, let the process work and relax.
