You rehashed the ALPA merger policy and I'm not disputing it. My opinion (& yours) of it is irrelevant. I am trying to understand how any LCAL person could feel they were harmed by the SLI and make the previous poster explain why he thinks every LUA person gained something and why we should all be grateful to to LCAL pilots for giving something to us. I know it sounds silly, but that was the tone of the post to which I originally responded.
