Say No To Airline Mergers! Save Your Job!
Contact your US Senators and Representatives immediately to voice your opposition to this merger!
The IAM strongly opposes mergers among the major airlines: airline hubs will be eliminated, service frequency will be reduced, competition will be diminished, jobs will be lost, customer service will deteriorate and pension obligations will be jeopardized and fuel prices will remain unaffected by a merger.
