I don't think we would start over from nothing, were that to happen.
The JetBlue MEC and Frontier MEC would develop a strategy along with ALPA national and then negotiate a Transitional Progress Agreement with management, outlining a path to a joint collective bargaining agreement.
I'm not 100% certain about the details of how this would all go down, but as far as I know that's essentially how it worked for the Alaska and Virgin merger.
That merger happened in April of 2016 and they're about to get the arbitration ruling next month, so it's reasonable to expect an 18 month timeline.
A merger would mean an imminent deal would not be likely, but we would certainly not start over at square one again.
