True, but the binding language exists and works well. Also included is language to bind the parent during an acquisition.
We did "acquire" S5 and merged them into the list. There was a twist, as we are represented by IBT, and RAH announced it was going to start Republic as a J4J operator and whipsaw, ALPA saw fit to endorse the whipsaw company.
One list binders are great...I benefit from it every day.
