SWA's past merger policy and SLI policy.

Is there any reason to expect something different this time? |
The law :D

Well, look at major mergers since deregulation and maybe it'll jog some merger memories:
AMR: purchased Air California, Reno Air, TWA America West: acquired US Airways Continental Airlines: Texas Internatinoal, Frontier, People Express, New York Air, United Airlines Delta Air Lines: Western, some of Pan Am, Northwest Airlines. Pan Am: National Airlines Northwest Airlines: Republic Airlines Ozark: Purchased by TWA Pan Am: National Republic Airlines: Combined North Central Airlines and Southern, bought out Hughes Airwest Skywest: Acquired ASA and XJT TWA: Purchased Ozark Southwest: Acquired Muse Air, Morris Air and certain assets of ATA US AIrways: Purchased Pacific Southwest Airlines, Piedmont |
Any chance you have a breakdown by pre/post McCaskill-Bond?

Is there any reason to expect something different this time? AirTran is represented by a contract and a Union. 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. |
