Make sure its a list you are comfortable living with.
Careful what you ask for. I think that's the warning.

The Scope language in effect for the merger was from the NPA contract. The attorney for the NPA was.......

Hmmmmm. I do believe you were just caught telling 'pork pies'.
My understanding is that the Scope section was significantly different from the NPA contract. It was waved around as a victory for ALPA in fact.
The Scope section in place for the merger was the new one. The new Section 1 from the new contract.
The NPA Attorney was LB. She was allowed to "move on to better opportunities" ...... If you know what I mean.
From what I know, your post is completely wrong. I'm going to check for you though.

The NMB told us they would not release us because of the SWA deal. We were on the cusp of release into the 30 day cooling off period prior to SWA. It was our only leverage.
AirTran management snickered into their hands and said "where's your leverage now" ?
Do you really think you know more about this than the people who lived it
? I'm betting your answer is "Yes".
