Delta management could have merged ASA and Comair any time they wanted without DALPA having any say in the matter. They were however never going to do that for reasons almost to numerous to list. In most cases managements at other airlines have reached the same conclusion.
Then it really didn't matter that there wasn't a "pre-nup" stating that we would accept a staple. As you stated, DALPA's position was it wasn't going to happen anyway. So that begs the question why you and others in the Delta MEC continue to spin this as the fault of us at ASA and CMR for wanting a "land grab" and trying to get "DOH". According you it didn't matter what we asked for, we wouldn't have gotten it.
