Are these fences likely to apply only to pilots from both airlines that were on property up until the merger announcement, allowing pilots hired after the announcement date to move on to a base across the street before the fences are up? Or, would these fences apply to every single pilot from both airlines regardless of whether they were hired before or after the merger announcement? Not sure if there's precedent on the first scenario in past mergers...
