fr8dog, there will be seat and equipment locks, as in previous alpa mergers . as to how long those locks will be.....well, we could make some $ and run a poll , is anyones guess.
bvr drvr, we (atlas and polar) are binded by the arbitrator decision, and so is aawwh, unless, is not financialy viable for aawwh. that is what both our MEC have a big problem with ,
and yes, aawwh wil negotiate with atlas alone very soon .
again , if the merger doesn't happen, good luck and we will support you.
