And you will undoubtedly hear a lot of rhetoric from G4 management about accellerated timelines, simplicity, flexibility, etc. The fact is, done - correctly - merger approval, SOC, JCBA, SLI, final merging of operations & employees - you're looking at 4 years out the door.

Yes, however they have an opportunity to make it worth while for both pilot groups to be on board by compensating us with good contracts. Will they likely not. Pilots onboard done fast, drag out pilot deals, drags out integration. At least the value of integration gives both pilot groups some leverage that we would not have had prior.

Absolutely correct. Under ALPA rules, which apply to ALPA+ALPA mergers. AS, HA, VX were all ALPA.

I can't find any such language in MB or AM, which is what will govern ALPA+IBT.

It says in there Allegaint air llc is the “company” and the international brotherhood of teamsters airline division is the “union” collectively the “parties.” It says we get our retention bonus 60 days following the ratification of the “parties” amended cba. So we have no choice but to go with teamsters until we get that money.

I don't think that's correct, but of course ya'll need competent legal advice (ALPA national would know the answer, not necessarily some local guy in a strip mall office).

This is RLA stuff, not something which a specific company or airline is likely to be able to circumvent.

The CBA is between the pilots and company.

The union brand is just the label for the specific pilots elected to represent the group. You could change unions and keep all of the same reps.

how did you know the G4 IBT office was in a strip mall? lol 😂

I’ve been at two airlines that dumped the IBT. (ATA and K4) Best move we ever made at both places. The IBT will make promises or threats to try to keep a pilot group. Both are baseless.
