Interesting Tidbit. When researching flights for a buddy pass (i really don't care for them, hence the pass...tic)....During December SEA-LAX shows ALL flights, to include Alaska. They want to return in Jan...Deltanet only show's Delta Metal on the route...what a concept! FWIW heard at council 81 meeting yesterday, and I hope I get this right: 70% of the bookings on our new Westcoast routes are OUR passengers feeding OUR SEA Int'l flights. Only good can come of that!

My opinion, not Council 81:

RE: ALPA PAC and the ME carriers, preclearance and coming cabbotage attempts. We need to start targeting individual congressman who will not support our profession/industry. This SHOULD be a coordinated grassroots movement and backed by the PAC and AFA.

Supporting the ME preclearance facility is a direct attack on us, as such we should respond in kind. If we're going to be out of a job...so should said congressman.
