You're assuming that this or any other contractual provisions in your current CBA will survive the consolidation. Don't bet on that. This among other things (like 18-year pay scales) are among the very reasons AAG is putting Envoy in the position it is now in and why it is positioning it for consolidation. They plan to eliminate the remaining uncompetitive aspects of Envoy. It would be counter productive to the acquiring entity to transfer Envoy pilots to a new entity that would acquire its assets and set up and "us and them" situation among the pilots whereby former Envoy have special rights not granted others (or grandfathered to unnecessary higher pay scales).

You can expect that if you choose to transfer at the time of acquisition of remaining Envoy assets, you'll have to accept employment under the acquirers pilots CBA and that includes their pay scales (18-year won't exist), the flow structure then in place or one negotiated to benefit all pilots based on seniority without favor and seniority to be arbitrated. You of course will have the option to decline those requirements and seek employment elsewhere. AAG isn't going to consolidate the dinosaur Envoy (AAG's belief of their competitive pilot labor costs and benefits relative to the industry) and retain all their albatrossian aspects or create a caste system within the consolidated carrier. Your MEC will agree to whatever terms are offered as the other option would be far worse for the pilots.

They will have no choice.
