I saw the bigger picture and I wasn't thinking of me me me. What about AA inergrating TWA. Was that fair?
My personal opinion is EVERYONE needs to take it on the chin and do the right thing and intergrate something besides staple. I am hopeful and happy that some of yall are trying to make this profession right again so lets do it at every angle. Staple does nothing. Of course I'm just wishing.
Carry on

Comparing the merging of lists at your conglomerate of regionals to merging of regional + majors is apples to oranges.

If management were to make a choice tomorrow to merge all the regional airlines into Delta there would not be a staple. The list would have to follow ALPA merger policy. That without any question would lead to binding arbitration.

But I don't have to, because it will never happen.

Realistically, The only way a integration would even be initiated by the mainline guys would be if the regionals signed a deal to accept a staple. Otherwise it would never get entertained by the majority. IMHO

do you really think an arbitrator would put the regional pilots ahead of many mainline pilots? I could see them throwing the very senior regional guys a bone and mixing them in with the mainline guys. But of course I think along with that would come a very long fence preventing them from holding any mainline captain seat before they were retired.
Management will never want to integrate the regionals into the mainline. We will have to force it. And the only way you will get the mainline pilots onboard is to accept you will get a staple.
