Jerry,
I wonder if USair and Ex-TWA share you view.
CX / KA was not a merger. CX bought KA. I think the best KA pilots can hope for is base, seat and equipment protection.
Not to open another can of worms, but how do you think ASL guys would respond to your proposal. I don't see a lot of differences "merging" their list with CX and a possible KA add-on to CX list.
That being said, the company will most likely do whatever they damn please.
Back to the eggnog (well spiked of course)
Merry christmas
