Yes, but that does not matter. What matters is that the trigger requiring a merger was not pulled. If ASA, Comair, or Pinnacle had one seat on one jet, the result would be different.
I do have a problem with ALPA members being treated differently based on how many seats managers put on airplanes. One seat and those Pinnacle, Compass, Comair and ASA pilots would have had an entirely different career outcome.
