Look at Doug Parker, for example. Now granted, he had a $20 Million dollar personal incentive, but he was tripping over himself to bring the Usairways pilots pay back out of the gutter after 7 years of gladly paying them very little, if they got onboard with a merger with AMR.

Have ALPA notify your management that a merger is going to be very difficult to pull off if the pilots aren't happy. If that's what you're concern is.
