Yes, but with record profits and the union playing nice at mainline, management would be foolish to rock the boat.

Pinnacle is a worst case scenario, they got all of the Colgan pilots, but none of the Colgan airplanes. This could easily happen at a mainline if the union isn't careful. A separate union like SWAPA can craftily side step around it carefully, whereas ALPA has no choice due to ALPA merger policy.
