I speak from experience, Voggers is not in the house, it's in the MEC house. This post would be removed immediately and I would receive a phone call explaining to me this isn't factual information and it's hurting the negotiating process. My friend, try and post something on Voggers that isn't positive toward the MEC and see what happens. This is why we created our forum to avoid being censored, "Censorship is the tool used when the LIE loses its power".

The smaller argument is the overlap for why it was blocked the IN BOLD argument is that JetBlue would eliminate ULCC seats from the market.
Hawaii/Alaska is so not a monopoly that virtually nobody can make money on it. Tons of players. Inter island can’t even handle two players without working together to set a fair value which is normally illegal unless given immunity.

I think an AS/HA merger would be good for both companies, and younger pilots in the long run.
But personally it would be best for me if it didn't happen, too much risk of senior HA pilots bidding into west coats bases on top of me in the mid-term. But that doesn't change the fact that I think it's more likely than not to go through.

Our competitors may have something to say. But they don’t count.

AS/HA have minimal overlap, and if needed can shed some gates routes to make the merger more palatable to the DOJ. There may be hiccups, but I bet its allowed.

all I read is blah blah blah I’m a whiny biatch. Seriously man up and volunteer your own time or shut tf up.
If it was soooo lucrative to be an alpa committee member you’d have a line out the door trying to fill seats. But yet nobody is raising their hands to help.
you have the time to look up others schedules at post 97.16 ?…god dang man you are salty. 16 is what like 8 minutes ? That’s like waiting for a gate in Maui?
do everyone a favor apply elsewhere…in unity

The pilots were very very lucky the European CEO scoffed at that, then DL/UA signed for much more, and we road their coattails.
No MEC, in todays pilot market, should have a "B" scale.

Anybody can talk to .gov. You can also file an Amicus brief, although the motives of other airlines opposing the merger would be painfully self-serving and thus not likely credible. Unless other airlines can come up with a true legal foul, as opposed to "this is not fair because it will make it harder to run HA out of business and allow us to monopolize inter-island".
