I believe the timeline for SLI is 9 months (Nevets will say for sure). That process is going to be ugly. As for fences, I seriously doubt they won't exist. I would think at least 18 months. I'd like to see a few years. Even when they come down, there won't be a system wide bump/flush bid, people will only be able to bid open vacancies.
Understood. In other words we've got quite some time to go before truly becoming a merged company ala DL/NW. I suppose our folks at the helm in ST. George were expecting that to be completed sooner. Well as with all things time will tell.
