History of Airline Pilot Integration
Tell us the Story.
Would like to hear the details of how groups were integrated over the past 50 years. Also include sale routes such as Braniff to American, PanAm to United, Flying Tigers to FedEx. Discuss the current integrations. NWA/DL, UA/CO, US/AWA, SW/AT.
Also include the following from your viewpoint:
All Pilots treated Fairly
It was POS totally unfair.
It was a great windfall.
Forums are a great source of information and a safe place to vent.

As far as current integrations go, NWA/DL was the smoothest and fastest by far. I am guessing a big part of that is DL only had unionization for the pilot group and the DAL/NWA ALPA groups played nice to get things done.
US/HP is on the opposite end of the spectrum. I dont see any way for them to successfully integrate outside of a merger with a larger company (AA). Parker is making money hand over fist while the two groups are in deadlock operating under huge bankruptcy concessions from a decade ago.

It thought it was because the learned from the US/HP disaster and the company was willing to pony up some cash first for a joint contract, then do a SLI.
