If catering to the business traveler and offering a "premium product" is DAL's strategy, how will that work out when less and less of that product is flown by DAL pilots using DAL airplanes? I'm starting to think that is investor talk only, and that management actually doesn't believe in our product that much at all.
Interestingly, there is and has been great pressure on Qantas pilots to outsource and cut wages. I think Qantas pilots are IALPA. I think all Virgin pilots are non-union. This JV puts further pressure on the Qantas pilots.
Its almost as if the next ALPA BOD meeting was going to be held at the motel 6 in Juarez Mexico.
