Q So when you use the term Delta flying, you're referring to flying by Delta Airlines and by wholly owned carriers of Delta?

A Well, I think I'm referring to the flying that's done by or for Delta.

Q By or for Delta Airlines only?

A When you talked about Delta flying, it's flying that's done by or for Delta.

Q So is say Comair flying, flying that you would characterize as Delta flying?

A If it's flying, you know, under the Delta code then it's flying certainly for Delta.
.....

A To my knowledge, all the Comair flying is under the Delta code. That is my understanding. I could be wrong on that, but that is my understanding.

Q So then you're saying that all flying of Comair air crafts, is what you characterize as "Delta flying?"

A No, it's for Delta. It's flying for Delta.

Q Is flying for Delta what you consider Delta flying?

A I think in terms of the comfort it is. In terms of the scope clause, I think that is -- I believe that's how it's defined in the scope clause.

Q So is it your testimony, that the permission to affiliated or wholly owned carriers that appears in the Delta scope clause, is the method by which Comair for example is allowed to fly at all?

A Well, I think -- I think it's the method by which they can fly for Delta.

Q So that if hypothetically during Delta collective bargaining, Delta collective bargaining activity, ALPA on behalf of the Delta pilots were to seek to include a clause that says that only Delta itself, Delta mainline if you will, can fly any air crafts with eight seats or more that would then prohibit Comair flying, would it not?

A First of all you said that ALPA on behalf of Delta. It would be the Delta negotiating team that would be negotiating on behalf of the Delta pilots.

So, if Mr. Robert's opinion has changed and permitted flying is no longer "Delta Flying" then I want to know why? What changed? Further, why then was appropriate for the the Delta negotiating team to be involved, but not now?

I think these are reasonable questions. The reply "none of your business" makes me angry. It is our business.
