Wrecking the entire industry is not the solution.
But DAL has CRJ pay on their books and has yet to pay it! CAL scabs welcomed back into ALPA. DAL shutting down Comair (pilots having to start all over) then DAL being allowed to force a company into bankruptcy and use bankruptcy laws only to get out of contract obligations. Legal agreements outright ignored by DAL and ALPA. I do not promote NAI but I do have much confusion on who and what is really wrecking the entire industry. Maybe there is some justification of sour grapes and victimhood just like many mainline pilots had during or after the Lorenzo era. You forgot about Lorenzo Hockey.
