The standard language in contracts usually refers to the Allegheny-Mohawk precedent, which is essentialy DOH, but as you can see from the US-HP merger, that dog doesn't hunt so good anymore. Now I think the ALPA concept is "no windfall", and protecting "career expectations".
The APA concept has always been "staple 'em all to the bottom", but they're all a bunch of cold blooded killers over at AA.
