Now let’s assume the merger passes. It’s going to be a slog for 5yrs dealing with integration, negotiations not only with labor but also suppliers, airports, IT, etc etc. This sort of stuff is much more up Joanna’s alley. She will be better suited for this instead of Robin.

Kinda what I was thinking also. Hate to see a Robin go, but Joanna’s background seems well suited for merger transition process, which is also why I think it’ll be a go sometime this week. I’ve been somewhat ambivalent about this merger, but I do think it’s happening now. If for some reason it’s denied, we’re in deep chit.
