If it is so simple to do, why don't you explain to me why ASA & XE aren't merging with Skywest pilots?
Bingo.. I wanted it to happen as much as anyone else, and I wanted ALPA to help facilitate that.
Unfortunately ALPA didn't see any motivation to even try (in doing so tabling all resultions from LEC's), and we'll never know what could have happened.
Regardless, we've got a trend vector moving in the right direction now, and the key is going to be to apply pressure to keep it that way and additionally to help it extend further in that direction.
