Still not getting it....who purchased Colgan, the company? The NMB saiid that the SLI was the remedy, so the lists were merged? Or are you saying that ALPA should have not allowed Colgan to organize. Air Florida had a similar operation, they did not organize because of a merger possibility..however it did help down the road....but simply the "ops group." (in house union) was a good ol boy group that was ill equipped to deal with what was happening at Air Florida.
