guess it hurts when people other than YOU have something to say....
whay makes you think that DAL's lobbyist will have any more success lobbying Congress than UALs???
Just because YOU talked to an MEC rep?
Do you really think it is only the DAL lobbyist? I think every Major has people up in DC trying to show Congress that without it, the PBGC will be under even more water. You see, sometimes it takes some examples (like United and USAir dropping their pensions and costing the PBGC $billions) before they can see the light. The Dalpa rep I talked to today seemed optomistic. I don't think UAL's rep even brought this up. This is a recent develpoment. One airline probably couldn't do much, let alone two in Chap 11. But, Congress will see that the others will probably join them if they do not extend the pension payments. I don't think it is that hard to understand, do you? This would also help other industries, not just the airlines.
