You know, if we had a real Union, instead of a Association of self-interest motivated MECs, we'd have a National Seniority List and all mergers would be strictly DoH.

I know as a career airline pilot you posted this comment to get a rise out of people since there is no way you would not have read and understand the RLA. Just in case you have not bothered to read the document that runs your life you might take a glance. What you want is illegal under the RLA. National unions are not permitted in the transportation industry. That is why ALPA is structured as a association and each airlines MEC maintains autonomy.
