The Comair pilot group was shuffling to the gallows thanks to the clever manipulation of the Commerical Agreement by Delta management, the management-friendly environment of Bankruptcy Court, and the willingness of other judges to step in and carry management's water....and we're blaming the Comair pilots?
You missed one.
When ALPA shot down the PID with Delta/Comair/ASA, it telegraphed a signal to managements everwhere: you can stand up all the alter ego "regionals" you want and ALPA won't lift a finger to stop it. Since then, alter ego airlines have been popping up like mushrooms all over the country. Mid Atlantic, Republic, Freedom, GoJet and Compass have all come into being since the Delta pilots d.b.a ALPA made that decision. Three of these were actually facilitated by ALPA to put furloughed US Airways and Northwest pilots in the seats. This ultimately put downward pressure on everybody's contract including the legacy carriers.
Management will always be management but the union we pay to look out for us sold us out.
