ALPA's buyout/merger policy
Lets say Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Richard Branson decide to start up a new mainline operation. Their pilots also join ALPA. Many of the pilots that got hired at the new carrier were good but didn't get a CJO from DAL when they applied to DAL but were able to get on at the new company. The new company has many less experiences pilots compared to most regionals. Now due to competition DAL decides to buyout or merge the new company and it happens. The new company was operating similar gage equipment to DAL and therefore the mccaskill bond amendment applies I think and like NWA just merge seniority list after an agreement is reached. Nobody needs to take any test or be reinterviewed . Am I correct in this assumption?

I think what you're telling us is that you haven't actually read the ALPA merger policy. Google my friend, Google. Not only will you find the policy, but there are college professors writing papers on it and offering mathematical models on how to accomplish a merge that's "fair and equitable".
I haven't seen any scenarios like the one you offer, so if that one is really important, then, I dunno.

Thanks for your well thought out replies gentleman and sorry to offend those with far superior English intellect. Just wondering why we have to accept the antiquated "Jim Crow laws" when a mainline buys a regional if my above example is correct.

No relative integration for you. Come back, 30 years!
