Again, I think you are right on all counts.

From a $$$ perspective, as XJT shrinks it becomes more expensive. OO has been in business for a long time. I think in part it may be luck, but I also believe they have some foresight.

And I agree it would take years and years to merge the pilot group especially if we were unionized. However, it would only take months to merge everything else.

One caveat: If this pay package passes a merger will not happen as quickly....according to my magic 8-ball.
