Ummm, What makes any of you guys think there will be ANY legal battle. The XJT MEC will roll over for whatever SKW wants. Prater and ALPO National could give a turd.
I do think however that this would be a great time for all 3 of us to have the same union, regardless of who it is. But one list one contract is the direction I'm thinking.
If a union other then ALPA is to represent all three carriers, they need to get off the couch and start wooing everybody yesterday...

SKW is positioning itself as the largest Regional carrier. They will be flying for more carriers, Leaving less competition. Thus creating a great bargaining tool to get more $$ from the Majors. If the Pilots are not aligned, we will NEVER get our piece of the pie...
