I can't wait to see what really happens in these cockpits that the media isn't reporting about this merger!

If you are at "Mercury", then you need to be careful how much you throw around your interest in scabs, seeing as how your EB has all but crossed a real picket line with the Midwest Airlines situation....(i.e. opportunistically replacing the current well-paid pilots with MUCH LOWER compensated workers, while the ones not flying have tried to keep their contract intact.)
What will happen is that while there will be some "quiet cruise" situations and an occasional "slam-click", by the time that there is a fully operational merged system and cross-bidding, training, moving into each other's bases and fleets, most if not almost all of the scabs from BOTH AIRLINES will have retired.
