At time of merger approval, HA contract had some time to run, but AS was up. Rather than try to deal with two negotiations in parallel, the company just extended the AS regularly scheduled raises by a couple years to bridge the gap. Probably best for all involved, and I assume your pilot group would get to vote on it.
