??? Sure they would, just a cost of doing (merger) business. AS and HA are trying real hard to merge right now, and the pilots are spending a lot of time talking (and worrying) about the SLI. Our MECs think it's a real thing, although Biden/DOJ still get a vote.
Two pilots are worried about the HA + AK SLI. The rest of us understand its ALPA + ALPA and will get on with our lives.
As for Spirit i do think a bit of a change in the operation to include more revenue options (first classish) and they can be bought successfully by anyone. Even SWA sees the benefit to change their operation. Spirit better withhin a week.
