That is a point. We have lost a statistically significant portion of our list since the merger.
The real risk for ALPA will be the next merger. The continuation of displacements and stagnation has made the lower third of the list disgruntled. Throw Alaska airlines in on top of them and the fuse would be lit.
In a 717'ish "hey, look over here" ... Hawaiian would be cheap, easy to merge and hold out promises of all gain, no pain.
