You have never explained how ASA and Comair can obtain scope without being able to negotiate with Delta.
ALPA has clearly warned your MEC they will be placed into recievership if they dare try to engage Delta in scope negotiations. Why do you think ALPA would change their position if somehow there was a merger? Comair and ASA's MECs have requested represenation to our employer in writing on numerous occasions and ALPA has refused these representational requests. It is not Delta that is blocking your MEC, it is your own union, got it?
Besides, there is a better case for "operational integration" between Delta and ASA, or Comair than ASA and Comair. Delta controls the marketing, schedules, ticket stock, operational control and all financial functions of the Corporations. This can not be said of ASA's relationship with Comair, or vice versa.
An ASA and Comair merger may happen because management decides it is cost effective. It would not mean much to us, in much the same way that bringing together the "regionals" did nothing for American Eagle.
I apologize for my frustration, but the history of these matters is clear. Nothing in that history reflects that the RJDC effort is anti scope - you know the opposite is true.
Your constant flaming on this board, as well as the ALPA board, is tiring. Why don't you do something useful with your energy like committee work? A little committee work might help you get in touch with reality.
