Personally though if this rumor is true I think it should make us more desirable to new hires. It means we have some job security beyond our carrier contracts expiring. It also means if you get in now you can lock in a west coast base before merging seniority lists. Plus we can ditch Lido and Lufthansa software. I would love to go back to Jepp and Flica. My one concern would be losing ALPA.

Personal source. Not forum. Friends from way back. That's all I'm saying.

Personally, I wouldn't mind. Say what you will about RAH, but they know how to run a regional.

At this point I'd rather merge with RAH... my upgrade is going to be 2.5 years at the very least it seems. RAH is approaching that anyways. I would also get to end my coast-to-coast commute. With the long upgrade, cancelling of vacations, 85 hour lines, junior manning, min days off...why even commute the distance anymore?
Envoy is accepting direct entry captains. I mean yeah I would be on RSV forever in New York but at least I will stay in my own timezone...
The continued cancelling of vacations and throttled upgrades really killed any moral I had left. I am sure I am not the only 1.5-2 year FO that feels the same either.

Integration doesn’t happen if another company purchases you, they can do whatever they want...including shut you down...see Colgan...the SLI occurred there because all carriers were ALPA. It would be to there benefit for morale purposes to integrate, but I guarantee you there union would fight tooth and nail for a staple job

"Among the key provisions in U.S. antitrust law is one designed to prevent anticompetitive mergers or acquisitions. Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, the FTC and the Department of Justice review most of the proposed transactions that affect commerce in the United States and are over a certain size, and either agency can take legal action to block deals that it believes would “substantially lessen competition.” Although there are some exemptions, for the most part current law requires companies to report any deal that is valued at more than $84.4 million to the agencies so they can be reviewed."

This also assuming they don't just keep us a separate certificate like they did with Frontier. Separate cert, union, and list.
