I bet if DL started doing a dozen SEA-LA flights a day each full of up to half AS pax while AS didn't do any and other similar abuses, you would have a huge problem with that.
Go nuts, order 380's, open a hub in ATL, we don't care. We can compete and we're not worried about it. Our beef is with DL management who prefers OAL pilots to do its flying whenever possible. You benefitted greatly from that for a while, and you still are. Just not as much as before and that trend is accelerating.
Its all because of your management too by the way. Its nothing DALPA or DL management did. I sincerely thank them and hope it continues.

I haven't posted much on this forum. Mostly I'm trying to get the lay of the land before making the jump from the military. I'm also totally unfamiliar with the whole union dimension. So please forgive my ignorance.
I sense a lot of AS hating out there and I've yet to determine why this is. I realize they're not a big fish like DL or others, but have they ****ed off the other carriers?

Both companies are actually the same union. It looked very scary for awhile that DAL may try to merge with AS which would be a very hairy merger for the DAL pilots.
Lately AS has opened up it's codeshare to even middle east carriers so now it appears DAL will go it alone and add it's own feed to the the international hub it's trying to establish in SEA.
Now it appears that there is room for both AS and DAL in SEA so there you go.

We're the same union, but that means squat when it comes down to which airline flies what.
