For extra credit, does anyone consider the AS-VX merger to be successful? It seems that all AS got (or at least kept) was the senior VX CAs. The VX aircraft are mostly gone and the remaining VX aircraft will likely be gone by 2023. The JFK base was closed and east coast slots and gates sold, leased. Or abandoned. And they continue to bleed FOs to the legacies.

Seems like all they did was kneecap a competitor at a huge cost.
