Brake,
You're wrong, as is your time line. Were any of your new hire FO sources (including me while on probation) on any Committees, or even employed in 1999-2000?
Yes
Anything done by a committee, or coalition, or legal effort generates documentation
Untrue
With regard to this subject, there are boxes. While there is an honest debatewe can make about the merits of "operational integration," the resurrection of the Comair bogeyman is a non sequitur. It just did not happen.
Whatever you say. No offer was thrown out with regard to flow through either. Don't even bother delving into it with a diatribe, because it was. To suggest that CMR and ASA MECs were not acutely aware of the response that was expected from the Delta MEC, did not have their next move planned with members NOT on their MECs from the assured denial of the PID, and not pushing the best deal for their pilots possible (NOT a staple) is disingenuous at best, and an outright lie being more likely. Plausible deniability. How convenient. Not to worry, as it is used all over the universe in aviation. Doesn't fly to well with me.
I will give you this, although I never suggested otherwise:
Believe me, Joe is not capable of the grand conspiracy you give him credit for. He's more of a "spray and pray" type.
Somebody else said it. You guys went all in with a pair of 2s, and got beat, bad. To answer your question, how did that work out for me?--you edited it away in case you forgot.
The answer, it's not about me-although you wouldn't like the answer.
It's about what is right and what is wrong. You were, and still are, wrong. The flying was never yours, still isn't theirs, and likely never will be. It is on indefinite loan, subject to cancellation from the Delta pilots negotiations with Delta, or even Delta terminating it altogether. Connection flying is an EXCEPTION, subject to TERMINATION.
There were better ways to skin the cat, and CMR and ASA blew it.
