To say there is nothing preventing the merger is fantasy. Your response on the ASA MEC seems hasty and defensive. I never said the ASA MEC was preventing anything. The circumstances of a union vs. non-union pilot group is what prevents the merger. This is not the fault of Skywest Airlines or ASA. It is just the circumstances they are in. Honestly, why do you believe that doesn't present a huge obstacle?
