The wildcard is Spirit. If JetBlue acquires them, our doors close with any potential JetBlue merger. If Frontier acquires them, the door is still open for JetBlue and Alaska. And JetBlue has been looking since 2016. The only others in the mix would be Southwest and maybe Hawaiiian. The big 3 buying AS is (most likely) a pipe dream.
Of course if I was AS management, I would wait until next years recession and downturn in the economy when hiring slows down (all carriers), attrition dwindles, then purchase Avelo for a couple million, and force the same JCBA arbitration process as they did for VX. Checkmate

I'm kind of surprised that no one has done the math on the lack of growth that this email details. Accounting for the reductions of captains on the Airbus side, we have a total growth of 11 Captains for the next year. For the 7 guys who were downgraded from the effective May to effective October bid this may help. Since they could get their captain bid back effective November. As long as no one senior to them bids for a captain position of course.

That would have applied to any SLI, although I think the ALPA rules are more specific than M/B.
I don't recall that M/B addresses the CBA. Maybe it's in the RLA.
But my original point was that VX was already ALPA, and was negotiating a CBA when the merger occurred so a JCBA was a given.
