We can either take consistent small gains or suffer for a long time and eventually get a decent contract. Upgrades are gone anyone hired in the last year got screwed.
I don't think we'll be merged anytime soon. It would make more sense to send the airplanes to another carrier and start the whipsaw over again than to merge. If we aren't going to be the cheap reliable feed that AAG wants, they WILL send the airplanes elsewhere.
