I've got some questions and am looking for L-UAL and L-CAL guys' opinions.
1. Which bases/domiciles have duplicate fleets? I looked on Skynet, but it only shows me the UAL side. I know we have UAL and CAL 757/767 in IAH. I suspect similar in LAX, possibly JFK/IAD. I just can't remember all the changes from earlier this year. The point is, I know UAL put some bases in CAL territory, and CAL put some in UAL territory, and some are duplicates.
I would expect that after ISL completion, those bases/domiciles would be merged.
2. As I understand it, the ISL is done solely through the Merger Committees, and if it reaches an impasse, it goes to the three arbitrators.
Does the Company have any input? From what I understand, I think no.
3. The company loses flexibility by having two different lists of crews in a domicile. For example, if UAL IAH 757s ran out of Reserves, but the CAL side still had some, without an ISL, they are stuck. A single list gives them more options.
As such, do you think the Company would offer incentives to complete the list sooner rather than later? Since it saves them money, would they offer us money?
So, the questions are:
A. Will the company merge duplicate fleets in the same base, and will it maintain status-quo, or lead to displacements?
B. Does the Company have any input?
C. Would they offer cash to settle quickly?
