Way way back in my early days, I used to fly with a guy who swore up and down that the only proper way to merge airlines was DOH.
He'd go on and on about it. Eventually he wound up at America West. I wonder if he's changed his mind.
You guys ever consider some kind of compromise to cut your losses (on both sides)? Laywers will take your money till the cows come home, not to mention the harm from no contract...
Just sayin'
