We would get none of the benefits of AA contract with all of the downsides of losing the proposed one (pay).
You sure about that ?
How much of Charlotte could end up with Group I flying and/or elimination of any and all Group III ? How about the same equation in DCA or Philly ? If PHX closes and everyone there needs to move or commute, what do their NEW options look like once they have no future negotiating leverage because Parker has all he wants or needs (not that you care) ?
Many pilots in those doms intend to transfer for various reasons anyway and might have to in the future to maintain their present Group pay scale. What if they contract like PHL to become mostly International Widebody (fed by Group I), but smaller overall ?
Are HBT and combining divisions actually BENEFITS to pilots that you'd be left out of ?
Combined divisions in your domiciles doesn't sound so bad as it exists already and no one is complaining and isn't THAT one of the arguments being made by some Easties as to why Parker's demands aren't so bad ?
HBT isn't a benefit with the exception it may crate additional jobs in SOME domiciles, but I don't recall present East doms being one of them.
Just what are you REALLY missing out on ?
