Nobody really knows but everyone has their theories. AA pilots don’t want it because APA is almost guaranteed to throw the younger pilots under the bus in a seniority integration, to save group 4 captain jobs. JetBlue pilots on the younger side almost certainly want it to take advantage of AA’s retirements.
