Although most of "their" crew bases are also our crew bases, so that would be very interesting and ripe for company abuse/division if they wanted to go that route, and to some degree by default even if they didn't. What if a joint base grew or shrunk? Who would get or lose that flying? How would an LA 73 base be handled? Etc. And if "they" got base fences, wouldn't "we" deserve base fences too? That would set up a mini USAir/AWA situation of 2 substantially different pilot groups. And all for what? Some 73's we could get anyway if we wanted? Never put anything past airline management I suppose.
