If so, the East guys made a brilliant move for themselves.....
No, it must be "Fair and Equitable." DOH is certainly not that. You can't staple either. Also Allegheny/Mohawk come into play, and nowhere does it say DOH.
The east guys will be ALPA again when the UAL and westies force the issue. All they did was put themselves at a disadvantage vis a vis a merger with an ALPA carrier.
