As a side note, if we go ALPA, it could come back to bite junior LAA as any future merger/acquisition would be required to include longevity as per ALPA merger policy. If say, we merged with Jet Blue or Alaska who have no longevity issues, depending on the outcome of this SLI, it could end up a double whammy seniority hit for junior LAA pilots and in perfect irony (and predictability), a product of yet another self-inflicted wound if this drive were spearheaded by LAA pilots themselves. One could only shake their head in such a situation of hapless AA pilots who always seem to turn left when they should have turned right.
