Default Drop ALPA to merge ASA, XJT, and SKW into one

Just out of sheer curiosity, would you vote to drop ALPA if it meant all three list would be merged? Yes or no?

What is the point of merging them? I don't get it. Will it save cost and give the employees a raise?

Prevent wipsaw and to have the benefits of a management team that actually knows how to run an airline.

Of course one list would be better, but the SkyWest guys will never go for it. Why would they? They've been benefiting from ALPA negotiated benefits without paying dues for years.

If you mean losing benefits, you're right
