I do no know what AirTran"s Scope Successorship clause is,
But I suspect this will be far from any staple Job and most likely it will go to Arbitration.

Since they are two different unions the new law will apply. They will meet and negotiate. If they reach an agreement on a SLI its done. If the reach an impasse it goes to binding arbitration. Nothing complicated or complex in the process.

Frontier had a union. Didn't stop those SWA guys from trying to pull a major staple job on them now did it? I'm guessing that after that fiasco Gary didn't let his fly boys try to negotiate another merger/buyout.

The SWA pilots were given veto authority on the merger if they could not reach a prenup with the Frontier pilots.
