HSLD,
I believe I stated a very similar statement on the topic although not specifically related to the TPA. More or less said that mgmt would do everything else that they could to gain synergy and live with the separate ops if need be. In other words....what leverage?
As to the TPA "airline party" wording, most of the folks had no idea ALPA isn't invited to the "party." That is a unilateral power by the now combined mgmt when they come to that expiration date. Most guys I chat with thought ALPA was in that "joint" concurrence requirement.
