Thanks for lowering expectations.... again.
Merely
not dropping frequency is a loss for us when demand clearly supports more frequency. If your primary concern is to look out for Delta pilots...then how can you be OK with DAL giving it away?
The goal--"our" union's goal--should be ADDING frequency and GROWING, not ceding ground to a competitor and trying to convince us it's no big deal when we permit hub raiding from a partner. No wonder we continue to shrink and they continue massive growth. WHY IS DALPA OK WITH THIS?
Can DALPA do anything about this development? Perhaps not. But they sure shouldn't be convincing to bend over and take it.
DALPA's stance on this matter is another in a long line of utter ineptitude.
