In the LONG run this should be good for both sides (on many levels) but then again I don't work for either company so who am I........................
Best of luck to all!

Interesting. I think at the very least we will see a name change, Colgan is the new ValueJet currently and a name change will have to happen.
As far as PNCL Corp merging the lists who knows. I do not think they would get rid of the Saabs. Saabs are profitable with the new rate agreements Colgan has with the codeshares.
I would like to see a name change followed by PNCL Corp allowing ALPA to begin to draft some provisions for a merged list.
