I can tell you right now if there were a merger between asa pilots and skywest pilots, the skywest pilots would get the short end of the stick. if this is what management wants to do they will almost have to do it the way the asa mec says to do it, or they wont agree. all you new hires that don't understand how unions work and help you will get a very rude awakening when you end up dropping 1000 people down the list when they do the merger. there are specific rules about merging to alpa carriers,, absolutley none when it is merging with a non alpa carrier, which means the people with representation have the upper hand. good luck with that.
