I am really sorry to have opened up this proverbial "can of worms" but I will say that many on APC are misdirecting their anger. First, it was Delta that created and then destroyed an entire fleet with no regard to the human impact, and it was most definitely NOT the MECs or any pilot committee that created the list. Arbitrator Bloch came up with "his" list all on his own with no regard to any of the recommendations, and most importantly NONE of the line pilots had one iota of input to the decision, they were all pawns in the world of transportation, global competition, and labor politics.

Have you ever noticed that the people that make the rules generally run banks and banks derive their power because they have YOUR money. "THEY" use "OUR" money to create new companies and then hire "US" and we bid against each other to work for the lowest rate "THEY" can negotiate, but "THEY" are using "OUR" money to empower themselves. (see the creation of Jet Blue and Southwest)
