I'd say that this is the perfect argument to keep it. This whole series of events came out of no where. So who knows what we might wake up to tomorrow, next week, or next month. My friend at Mesaba woke up and read that they were bought by PCL on the employee site. As always the employees will be the last to know.

Mesaba will most likely have to come up with a merger fund as ALPA national will not provide assets for a merger between two ALPA carriers (that is IF the three groups merge).
