question?
APA had said the merger would be better for them to happen while in bK. They had said that if merged while in BK, they would be able to open the contract for renegotiation (the one that the judge just signed that they voted on). If merged outside of BK, the current contract stays in force and negotiations will not happen for a contract will not happen for 6 years.

The MOU passed by all takes effect when?
Contract negotiations begin when?

WHAT said "The airlines announced they plan to merger but the merger itself won't happen until 3rd QT this year" would this be after AMR comes out of BK, or they planning to stay in BK until 3 QTR?

Also, when would negotiations begin based on the MOU?
