But at least if there was a CBA containing scope/merger language in place at SKW, BOTH pilot groups would have somewhat of a chance to obtain some equity in the deal. Now, we've all seen how that doesn't work out so well on some cases, but NONE of the most recent really apply to this situation, yet.

So instead of a complete windfall for one group and the other getting bent over, as it would be now. There MIGHT actually be something a little more fair to BOTH groups in the end.
