Each merger is arbitrated on it's own merits and considering the three primary components of the current policy I'd suggest that a UAL/JB combination would be quite asymmetric on all three counts and certainly far more than UAL/CAL. YMMV.
If this is how most UA guys feel, there would be a lot of ****ed off pilots after the SLI came out. Hell, why not just staple them all...they're lucky to even have a job with you guys, right?
The slotting would be significantly higher than most of the recent guesses here.....to think otherwise is foolish.
But it's never going to happen right...so no need for either side to worry....
