• The type of flying performed by that airline does not appeal to us and would disuade others from working here.
• Management decides who merges. Labor has no voice / is ineffective / would pay too high a price for mergers.
• Outsourcing results in mainline pilots getting paid more. Outsourcing is good.
• Flow through agreements are as good.

... and don't expect much sympathy from Wychor. If I am not mistaken he voted against ASA and Comair when they tried to gain ALPA support for a merge with Delta.
