Hey...
It could happen. Grinstein has said that bankruptcy is not
his first choice in aligning Delta with the competition. (The real competition that is: Southwest, jetBlue, American, United, Continental and AirTran not the management/ALPA made competition: mainline, CMR, ASA, Skywest, ACA, Mesa, Mesaba, Chautauqua).
But there is some understandable angst at ASA and Comair that if management does force bankruptcy to get control of the mainline contract, the pilot agreements at ASA and Comair are also put at risk even though our "companies" are still profitable.
It all comes back to the RJDC issue of ALPA's duty of fair representation doesn't it? The Delta MEC, who we did not elect and does not represent us, may trigger consequences on our property that gut our contracts in bankruptcy court.
Our dues dollars at work.
