I keep hearing this, and honestly I don't know where it's coming from. Personally, I don't think that most people have actually read the ALPA merger policy. No where in there does it say anything about a staple, instead it outlines a process for finding a fair and equitable solution. For any Colgan Pilot's who haven't read the merger please check it out. It's only 4 pages, but if you just want to skip to the chase check out Secton G.

I think it's also worth noting that we don't seem anywhere near actually merging anytime soon.
