You say this as if the Lynx pilot had a choice between IBT and UTU. That could not be further from the truth. IBT did not show up when the UTU ball was rolling, they have been MIA in DEN since they got kicked out by Great Lakes. UTU was the only game in town and the only one that ever really put any effort into unionizing Lynx.

Yes, I know this IBT is different, but they are more concerned, and rightly so, about getting things back on track at RAH. I don't think anyone at Lynx will fight an integration from occurring, but just staying nonunion waiting for someone to make a move was just too much of a liability once Brian Bedford showed up as a potential boss.
