UAL, DAL, the legendary US Airways Nic-award all used the merger announcement date.
Why would the wheel be reinvented at this point?
The leadership of APA and USAPA are both failing newAmerican pilots. Half of all US Airways pilots will be retired in 6 years. This merger protocol agreement fiasco is very shortsighted. Why are the unions not focusing on a seamless merger to drive growth.
Delta is laughing its way to the bank.
After the DOJ filed suit, the merger was in jeopardy. There were people that accepted the offer to work at US Airways, knowing that there was a distinct possibility that they could be working for a stand alone US Airways. It was not until the settlement date that the merger seemed certain.
POR was the effective date of the merger. That's what needs to be used. Using the announcement date would be like saying, "Hey man, I'm going to buy your car. Let me go ahead and have it and ill pay you in a few months."
