The new Alpa policy was tested in the Pinnacle/Mesaba merger. Very interesting read if your into that sort of thing.

Be careful of what you ask for! The Pinnacle/Mesaba/Colgan award makes a lot of reference to pay scale, and awards a bunch of slots due to pay scales at time of merger! I don't think you really want to go there, it's a slippery slope! Some of us were making over $40 per hour more than our UAL buddies... and do you want to look at widebody pay? 764 paid more than 744, hmmm!
