Waghi Warrior,
You have a rather disrespectful attitude towards the APNG guys and gals, merger or take over, who really cares.
Two things I can tell you for sure:
1) the two groups are no longer competitors,
2) If you work for either entity, you will soon be sharing a cockpit with pilots from the other entity, the same ones you show such disdain for.
Merger or take over, if attitudes like your small minded one is allowed to continue, both groups will not stand a chance as they will be too busy infighting.
