I see. Because this document about chronology doesn't say another group did this in the past, you assumed your statement is true? This is the kind of research that I suspected was behind your statement.

This is another item of which I was unaware. I remember ALPA merger policy being re-written many years ago (90's I think), but I didn't know that the DAL/NWA merger resulted in another re-write of ALPA merger policy. Do you have a source for that?

I didn't say that it was common at all. Oops...am I deflecting again? The only thing I said is that it was silly to state that something had "never been done in all of aviation history." That's simply a very difficult thing to prove.
