+1, this is me pushing harder :beer:

Super, I think you should consider running too. I'd vote for you.

I don't think he said anything about the DMEC being reluctant to approach management to offer preferetial interviews for furloughed pilots. The Delta pilots did more than just ask, the Delta pilots negotiated contract language mandating it, which is far more than was ever asked of the CMR MEC.

The RJDC and CMR MEC attempted to use furloughed ALPA pilots as leverage to extract contract concessions from another ALPA pilot group, their actions have rightfully cast them as pariahs in the industry. True scum.

You're wasting your breath, brother.

Not sure how that convinces me to run.

If you don't run, I will have Roseanne Barr come and sing love sonnets under your window every day for a year.

Glad you pointed that out. Company has no problem quickly reducing mainline capacity while increasing regional capacity during record fuel prices. Makes you wonder.

Those large RJ's are sure adding a lot of ASM's.

Saw one SKW jet sitting next to me in ATL the other day. It was on it way to Bozeman, MT. Who in their right mind would willingly sit in that for four hrs?
