Given UAL's stellar track record of merging airlines, I'd never wish that on the fine men and women at Alaska airlines. BTW, I found this video compilation of every EVP/CEO level dog and pony show I've ever attended at HQ, the glad-handing never seems to stop.

1) Captains to be merged with Captains.
2) Jumbo doesn't appear in ALPA merger policy. "Pilot" is status and "airline" is category.
3) Pilots only want to fly 737s. (That's all Alaska has)
4) UAL is overstaffed because of all the bases, so we have "extra" pilots.
5) Pilots don't want to be trapped in Rome in a hotel room. They'd rather be trapped in Nome, in a hotel room.
6) "1-for-1" proposal, effectively stapling the bottom 11,000 UAL pilots to the bottom (Since Alaska only has 1,500 pilots) putting a CAL/UAL 1985 hire below their most recently hired pilot.

Either that or they would want 100% DOH.

True just like a LAS base. Been there for over 10 years. But a FL base would make a lot of pilot happy. I guess that is why it won't happen.

Just fence off every airplane but the 737 for X years.

Ha. Won't happen but if it did, you'd hear just as much crying coming from their camp as we do ours.

THAT right there is classic. Nice job with the linkages to other absurd proposals!
