I am. I'll move UP 7% in DOH. I'll move down ~2% with relative, depending on the formula. But I was prepared to eat that for the sake of getting a combined list of 4000 happy pilots. Now, it's looking less and less worth it, because I think
we're buying a list of pilots who will be unhappy no matter what.

Not likely. I am actually one of ASA's hardliners, but am wise enough to know when to pick my battles and when not to. Your scope clause isn't worth the paper it's written on, because you forgot to include the eventuality of a subsidiary buying you. Oops! Thanks for playing. More crap put out by ALPA's finest lawyers!
We at ASA learned the hard way that pulling in the same direction is the best tactic under the SkyWest umbrella. We have no patience for the learning curve of 2800 pilots to come in who don't get that.
