Explain to me how the latest contract had any influence on Delta owning regionals. Mesaba was sold before the latest Sec 6. Compass was sold before the latest Sec 6. ASA was sold before the latest Sec 6. Give me an example of a mainline pilot group who contractually dictates management to own regionals or dictate which regional the flying goes to.
If you guys think this stuff is so easy, take a look at UAL & Us Air. I think you imagine negotiations as pilot's walking in and slamming their fists down demanding everything. It doesn't work. APA tried it years ago. What did it get them? Bankruptcy. We live in reality, not fantasy. One day you guys will learn that.
