This "backed into a corner" mentality is completely counterproductive. The merger's going to happen. Contrary to what they say, NWALPA can't stop it. Let's get the most money/best rules possible out of it (and ditch the hats)...and put it behind us.
I hope you understand that posts like yours contribute nothing. I know you have an opinion and you're entitled to it, but it's just your opinion. I'm pleased to see that most posts have moved beyond name calling and insults. The DALPA MEC has not engaged in that type of stuff either. You could take a lesson from it.
