Let's be clear;

with regard to any SLI, it isn't about what each airline brings to the table, it's about what each labor group does.

The efficiencies gained by the combining of two airlines are separate and distinct from the issues surrounding the merging of two seniority lists (read, contracts). For proof look no further than AWA/US. The "airline" has successfully merged....the labor? Not so much.
