Bar; did a little bit, but in a nut shell there is not enough credit out there to get some airlines though the winter months. I see a few airlines shrinking to survive.
You want guys that are going to fix the problems, IMHO you need guys that are going to listen to you, listen to multiple options and make an informed decision. There is one way to fix a lot of our ills and that is with UNITY. With unity comes the fact that to solve this the group needs to better educate itself, and come up with a idea (s) that work for all of us. Single source ideas often never pass the error check.
As for CPS. There may be some real genius in keeping them off the property. I hate to say it, but I see it. It has to do with all of the other DCI carriers needed to be in the bottom two of cost. Well, CPS is the cheapest, so it only leave one other that is in compliance at the five year mark.
For those of you who know acl65pilot, he is a former ASA pilot who now works at Delta. Whether or not you agree with him, he does have his ear to the rail at Delta....He isn't the first one to express this view.
During the RJDC lawsuit, the USAir MEC admitted that it helped pit the USAir Express carriers against one another to help lower the costs of the Express operation....Many at the mainline level believe that this helps them by freeing up more money for the mainline to bargain with...
1. How does this foster "unity" within ALPA?
2. How does this downward pressure on the bottom end hurt the mainline rates at the lower end?
3. How does this downward pressure on the bottom end hurt mainline jobs and job security?
4. Does this promote a "what's in it for me" attitude?
5. How does this jive with the union mantra of "we are all in this together"?
