Then what?
In effect, you've announced the end of constructive engagement,
No, DAL management has already announced that long ago. Do you recall the RAH scope violation? Or the LGA/DCA slot swap?

What Moak wants no longer matters to us sink...he no longer works here. Moak's opinion should NEVER have mattered, other than his one vote.

Then, nothing. Sound of crickets. Don't bother winding your watch, because this one is going to take a calendar. Like a Mayan calendar, where the world ends in 2012. We can then invite our friends at uCAL and LCC, and have ourselves a barbecue, compare notes. We'll need chicken, because it's cheaper, and maybe a few fourties. They still make Old Milwaukee?
That's just silly scare tactics from DALPA. That's not what the NMB would allow in our situation. You have to understand that what happened at AMR has no similarity to us whatsoever.

Not unless you pursue an utterly failed strategy like APA did. A smart strategy can force management out of defense.
