When ALPA accepted alter ego airlines to be owned by Delta and operated under "regional" contracts our union's moral authority on "schedule with safety" was compromised. After all, if Delta could operate two 121 carriers with regional schedules, why not all of the airlines they operated?
This is yet another of my year 2000 forecasts that has come to pass. If the bar is lowered at one part of the Company, expect management to learn that regional scheduling is "safe enough" and eventually mainline will operate a lot like the regionals.
