ATI Rumors.....
Actually no one is 100% on this.
One point kinda close is voting on representation. The group as a whole votes. This would be after road shows of both unions. Then both would negotiate seniority before an arbitrator. The goal here is for your relative seniority to stay "approximately " the same after the integration. This is all governed by law now days which was written post AA/TWA
The larger numeric group would hold an initial advantage. Depending on your opinion of which union you favor.. Like I said you'd have road shows for both . The ATI certificate would obviously be the more lucrative of the two. Simply due to the diversity of operations. Some of the above is simplified but I'm tired.
Technically not legal but management could have influence over the process after a merger was initiated. That's some of the reason why the east west lawsuit is still brewing over what is now American. Say like over inflation of one of the companies or vise versa.
Key point it's not our choice anyway
Another is the fact that one of Americas largest freight haulers has been somewhat stagnant while yet another is highly dependent on a gov subsidized mail contract. THE ONE that is growing by leaps and bounds is one based off mfg direct buyer. Where I can get a bag of Doritos by pressing a d*** button. Or I can buy dog food which is sent strait to my door same day for the same price as dragging my fat @$$ to Walmart.
Now we have two major players in this "new" game. ATSG and Atlas holdings. I know CONair (kalitta) is on it too but no one knows to what extent .
