Maybe you missed the part where XJT Pilots voted for the current concessionary pay scale to keep the company afloat 2 years ago? The current pay rates are not from Contract 2004...XJT and ASA pilots will be of like mind eventually, we just wonder how many times ASA guys need to get burned drinking the Kool-Aid before they clue-in.

Maybe you also missed basic business classes, because this merger wouldn't be happening (After being proposed TWICE) if SKW Inc didn't expect to make a killing on the deal by outsizing the competition, with Economies of Scale more than offsetting any increase in Pilot compensation.
