Well that explains I few things. I appreciate your fantasy on account of the fact that you probably don't know how to land the airplane yet, let alone understand how negotiations work.

Having been through 3 of them including, and a merger in my previous life I can tell you that it's going to go anything but smooth at this point.

It is common knowledge that the ASA MEC is refusing to talk to our MEC because we will not consider that piece of **** bidding system, put simply it will not work for the combined company. The company is actively mostly talking to the XJT MEC, because the ASA MEC are acting like children. They know that it has to work for both, but are refusing to compromise. So **** them, we got the votes to pass this thing if it's sweet enough, and if we see it in the next six months.

Now SLI, it's a different story, with any luck it will be at least 2-3 years before we see a joint list. This is the reality of it all, now we can all go back to speculating on the 135's and future growth of the ERJ side.
