None of us want VA guys above us. I just have the balls to say it first. If ALPA screws us, then I want them off property as I no longer want to pay for a union that doesn't look out for my best interest no matter what the issue.
Lighten up Francis. They're ALPA too. Everybody's interests will be presented via their respective legal teams and an arbitrator, (barring prior negotiation) will decide what is a "fair and equitable" list. Threatening to dump ALPA is a fools errand. There's plenty of recent examples of how that strategy is a loser.
Get used to the term "fair and equitable". That's the goal. Each merger turns on it's own factual circumstances. Looking to other mergers is mostly a waste of time. This Marathon hasn't even REMOTELY begun. Don't spin yourself into hypertension this early on.
