Could you explain how this is bad for Delta pilots?
My guess is because of this.....
The airlines' agreement already allows China Eastern to codeshare on Delta's flight between Detroit and Shanghai;
and allows Delta to codeshare on China Eastern-operated flights from New York and Los Angeles to Shanghai as well as China Southern's service between Los Angeles and Guangzhou.
But I'm guessing we don't have route authority for NY to Shanghai or LA to Shanghai, so I'm not sure it really hurts us.
