Neither one needs or wants this disgruntled pilot group merging into their ranks.
You think anyone cares about our contentment? No acquisition/merger would ever take place if the disposition of the pilot group was taken into consideration. You think this is bad? Talk to the pilots that lived/live through the Frankenstein that is U.S. Air/America West/AA/TWA. Or CAL/UAL or DAL/NWA or AT/SWA.....just to name a few disgruntled groups. Yet all those shotgun weddings happened. Money, not feelings, is the only thing that matters.
