Like that is going to Happen.
Using your argument, what if MGT grows AAI and all future Hires get hired on the AAI list.
Cheaper labor costs from the separate contract and list.
Lets say this goes on for the next 3 years while all this gets ironed out in Arbitration...(could be longer if you use the USAir/AMwest model).
How would that work for the JR SWA Pilots?
Relax, I have No dog in your fight. Just be careful what you wish for.
A Joint SLI worked out by both SWA/AAI merger committees is in both sides best interest. My money is it will be settled in Arbitration.
Good luck to all.
