Is this something that we are attempting/working to procure by way of a Transition Agreement to a JCBA?? ABSOLUTELY.....we ALL have seen the obvious of what happens if not done in that manner.

Although I understand that the financial portion of the merger is complete, there will still be some sort of "divisive nature" no matter how you want to paint it.....just the nature of the beast in any Merger. Don't believe me?? You CAN'T tell me that ALL the DAL/NWA pilots are happier that Pigs in *******!! It's a Fairy Tale that will NEVER be fully obtainable. Regardless of the situation, do I sponsor that kind of 'division' & call it acceptable?? NOT at all......BUT what I'm willing to do is 'think outside' of Fantasy Land to realize the reality that there will ALWAYS be those who will NEVER be happy.....especially in Airline Merger's......Period.

As it was stated earlier in this thread, if you can not realize that BOTH MEC's are going to "work together"...as well as stand toe-to-toe to each other on T/A specifics via their respective Neg Comm's to make sure 'alls fair'....you are failing to look reality in the face. ONCE again, he did NOT write that as an 'airing' to UAL vs CAL. What's wrong if he wanted to stoke the fire/fight w/in 'his' pilots to ralley during the Neg for a JCBA against the company?? After all, on that day last week, BOTH UAL & CAL lost a little bit of their identity.

Hypersensitive??

good post and I agree. I'm over the whole thing. Lets press to a JCBA, get this thing merged and get back to drinking beer on the beach somewhere.
