Tony...That's not a real solution. There are great benefits of a successful merger for both pilot groups and the company as well. It would be silly for us to not work toward one pilot group.

One problem is that the MECs become detached from the pilot groups. The negotiations quickly turn to ****ing match with the only interest is winning the battle and the desires of the pilot group falls by the wayside.

Maybe another option could be to increase the number of members of negotiating group. Why do we have a such a small group representing such a large number of pilots. More members could equal a more fair representation of the pilot group. Then a 2/3 majority wins the issue and we move on

Just trying to think of solutions....
