Whipswaing insures future pilots will live in their knees and beg for what they can get. 100 seaters will be flown for peanuts in the future and that's bad for both mainline and regional pilots.
There are 4 players :
1. customers
2. shareholders
3. management executives
4. labor
The first 3 win through whipsawing and #4 is the loser and that's perfectly acceptable to the first 3.
Sorry............thanks for playing.

We are merging lists, that is a fact. Be glad that both groups are ALPA or someone would be getting screwed.
