Knowledge of the current policy covering ALPA-ALPA mergers would be a powerful thing.
This thread should close.
Well that tells you how blind you are. Alpa Alpa is a guide line not a rule. Mergers of NWA and DAL, CAL and UAL were mergers done by similar companies with equal footing. VX could not buy AS, they are by no stretch of the numbers, equal in any fashion. VX was a struggling start up and AS a 85 year old airline with the best balance sheets in the industry. Kill the thread though... I have to be wrong
I don't know whether you will be proven wrong or right. I do know that ALPA-ALPA is more than "a guide" as supported by Federal law. It is my understanding that an arbitration panel must consider the policy as more than simply "a guide". Originally Posted by tzskipper

That is my only point.

"..If the covered transaction involves employee groups represented by the same union, the statute provides that the union's internal merger policies apply exclusively, with no carrier involvement, except as to whether it will accept and implement the result of the integration process (i.e., the combined seniority list)...."
