Astute observation. Pilots at ALL 3 legacies should now be fully aware of the importance of absorbing their regional feed and having all of that flying done on a single seniority list. The direct result for APA would have been the $1.75B being spent on just the 3 AA WOs being spread across all of APA. The indirect result would be increased bargaining power. Either way it’s win win for APA pilots current and future. Literally 0 downside.

But hey, keep viewing the industry through whatever lease you and APA are viewing it through. Seems to be working out really well.
