HA in Ch 11 means renegotiated pay, benefits, and leases. Not the end of long-haul flying.
And to the earlier point about A330 pilots being protected for 787 flying during the fence, that's exactly what was provided in the DL/NW arbitration.
If Alaska is smart, they'll keep the 330s until the fences come down. And then replace them with a greater than 1:1 ratio of 787s.
That way no one loses their status.
Growth is the grease that makes mergers work smoothly.
