If the Nic was so fair, then why does the west love it and the east hate it? That doesn't sound fair to me.

What year did the McCaskill-Bond Amendment go into effect? If the Nic was before it, doesn't it make it non-binding outside of ALPA?

If APA decides to forgo the Nic could a east new hire (or AA recall) be put above a 10 year west guy?

What if the merger doesn't happen? Will it be a stalemate forever or will you guys meet in the middle?
