No "dog in the fight", and it's not quite the same thing, but just sayin'......
Along the lines of your point above. When Western was acquired, as well as the merge with NW happened, did DALALPA get tell management "don't take on the pilots without a 4 year degree".
Like I said, I know it's slightly different, but the point remains.
And YES, I'm all for the 4 year degree, and YES, I GET IT, it's a DAL requirement. But pitting pilots against each other in various stealthy ways seems to be management's specialty. And pilots fall for it, EVERY time.
