That train has left the station...
In the immortal words of TomGoodman:
Management is in a hurry to get the deal approved and closed. A prior joint contract and SLI will help them, and they will pay for this help. If they get it done without such pilot assistance, their wallet will slam shut and they will revert to a cost-control mode. A divided pilot group will then have great difficulty prying loose any contract improvements at all.
