Ya'll are right. Sorry about the old merger policy in my post.

On a tangential thought, this is one of the few areas where I am sensitive to what the decisions our MECs make, actually cost the airline. It's why we need an integrated list that everyone can live with. If there are artificial sweeteners added, like fences, pay protections or Tony's proposed non-portable seniority system, it can end up driving the real cost of staffing this monster beyond costs that are reasonably assumed on the front end. Granted some pilots would become beneficiaries, but that type of a windfall is not worth the aggravation (read anti-pilot motivation) it causes management in future negotiations, when compared to an across the board solid contract.

So we agree? Transitions Agreement, JCBA, ISL, "system flush bid", in that order?
