A merger would (possibly) help to expedite negotiations, but isn't that just short term?
I honestly don't know. I'm mostly just along for the ride. (NK)
This is the 800 lb gorilla that our 'this is better than my regional' pilot groups can't seem to wrap their 'topless' heads around. Both groups are going to get Brandoned with the seniority stagnation and NK pilots won't even get a reach around having to work for Franke. This is the worst possible outcome for both groups and one can only hope that this merger is denied. Perhaps SPA MEC can make use of some of our M/A cheese to attempt to put a stop to this.
