It does include protection in the event of a merger. Have you read the documents?
I did once, but don't have it anymore, but please post it to support your claim. At any rate, the disposition of Envoy and any and all contractually related agreements with pilots can be circumvented by several methods of dissolution of the carrier aside from a straight merger. Might I suggest review the AA/TWA asset acquisition and offer of employment as a resource ?
If there is one thing your union past, present and certainly future has proven is that with the correct threat (that doesn't even have to exist like your pseudo-1113 during AMR's chapter 11
), they'll not only agree to just about anything, they'll bust their humps to convince you to as well.
