First I would do a little research on the famous Lawson letter from Comair.

The next thing is that the union does not maintain or control the seniority list. It is administered and controlled by the company. You would have to convince the company to merge the Comair guys. They have no real interest in doing that under any circumstances.

The last point is that there was talk many years ago about trying to bring both Comair and ASA on the seniority list via negotiations with the company. It was considered a huge long shot to ever convince the company but many wanted to try. There were several meetings between the groups. At the one I attended the Comair MEC made it 100 percent crystal clear they would never except a staple. They stated they would only agree to use ALPA merger policy and there position in a attempted merger would be DOH. Who knows what a arbitrator would have awarded but once there demands were public the support was gone.
