After seven years, "East" and "West" groups are still split at US, and still have no contract. Yet, some AAers believe Parker's two week PowerPoop presentations? I hope every bit of his offer is engraved in bronze, because I believe if a merger occurs the so-called promises will go up in a puff of smoke, and now there will be "East", "West" and "AA" bickering and dissatisfied, perhaps with a less viable employer to boot.
