Merger of the 3 regionals will be at a corporate level only. there's no way you'll see a combined pilot group, the 3 entities will have one GM, one accounts department, combined engineering etc, but the the individual flights ops dept's will remain as well as their respective CEA's, just cutting out some middle managment in the corporate world.
Air New Zealand Link will be ONE airline operating a big fleet of different sized Bombardier props and a number of 1900's.

Last person I know who became a PM after being a GM ended up getting truly PM'd - as in 'permanently moved'. Out of the company!
Though 'Hatchet Hambleton' does have an interesting ring to it.
