You are making enormous assumptions based on fear with no basis in reality and creating discord in the process.


The battle here is UNITY and SCOPE.



Try to do some research on how mergers work before you start assuming the worst. The MECs will posture all they want but the SLI arbitrators will not be fooled and if you want my guess no one will be perfectly happy but then no one will get a "windfall".
So in the end how did it work out e.g., how many captains from either list were displaced as a result of the merger?
