Pdt has taken 60 planes but we only have 460ish line pilots that can fly them.
AAG has problems... pay us and treat us fair and PDT will continue 50 seat lift that AAG requires. Merge us and cause one more problem that dfw has to manage. Reduce/kill PDT, find another airline ready to take 240 flights per day.
Let's all relax, let the NC do what they can and talk to your reps so they know how you feel. Everyone has their own thoughts, opinions, wants and needs.
If anyone in management pushes a merger on you, I would immediately explore dumping ALPA for another Union, possibly Teamsters. Not that they are the best, but you need to push back hard on their plans. It will tie things up for far longer than AA wants. You might even want to get Envoy in on the deal if you can so you can take as much control back as you can.
