I disagree. First of all, RAH consolidation is simply ONE option, but I think it's the most likely. It's not the ONLY option.

No, the pilots are NOT "clearly identified" (by name). It is a contractual provision and just like your management has proven MULTIPLE times in just the last year or two alone, it is subject to interpretation. Considering the position Envoy is in with most of its fleet of limited lifespan, it will be easy for AAG to craft a "win-win" scenario for all pilots in such a scenario. but compromise will be necessary. Not interested in that ?
Fine, but you know what and how AAG can play you and you won't like it.

Actually, it is MUCH easier to merge (and most likely something a judge would go for). Mergers are more then just about aircraft, they are about assets (pilots being one), infrastructure, market share and capital valuation. It's actually much simpler then you think.
