How about we just let the chips lie where they fall.
Which this merger stuff would stop. The only ones who truly make out are a handful of the people at the top (management) and the boards.
Wall Str to a point too..
enough already (hopefully)

Contract
Section 1.E
Merger and Successorship Protections
Everyone should read it...
Bottom line, unless we become wildly unprofitable and the board can no longer purchase back their stocks at a billion dollar rate every year or two... we should all be employed with a fair and equitable(cough) SLI, that falls within the ALPA merger policy or the confines of Allegheny-Mohawk and McCaskill-Bond. Which ensures that everyone on both sides will be equally irritated, p!ssed off, defrauded of QOL due to the other pilots on the other side of the fence.
At least for two years. Then the furloughs start.

AT agreed to their fate with SWA. JB pilots would not for a second.
Frankly I hope for neither. Ever.
