Default 6 airline Merger (American)

Ok, so i am trying to think outside the box here. Doug P. really really needs the single airline certificate so he can properly rule the world with air travel. Right now maybe our only chance for the people who have been working so hard at the wholly owned to get a seniority number.
What i suggest is that the following airlines come to an agreement with one large seniority list.
American
Airways
American West
Eagle
PSA
Piedmont.

Many pilots here have decades of experience flying for the regional. This can solve many problems for both management and labor.
Regional pilots deserve seniority numbers, we are being held while other pilots from other airlines with less qualifications get hired.
Management is going to have issues staffing the new airline, wether they believe it or not. The 700's wouldn't matter if they came to PSA if they came with Eagle pilots. And vise versa.
If mother American needed pilots to stay flying the 200/700/900 then so be it. We wouldn't care to stay a year or two longer if we had a seniority number.
So rather than we all get into a ****ing contest with what airplanes belong where, lets get together and get on one big list. Business can be a Win-Win.

We win with getting on the list.
Management wins by getting the airplanes staffed without conflict.
