The take away from our last Quarterly Earnings call was that Delta's Executives see Delta, Air France, KLM, Virgin, Alitalia, DCI, AeroMexico and GOL as a single airline and manage marketing as such.

Now if you are painting your house and you have 8 different painters available, are you going to pick the most expensive, or the cheapest? Ostensibly Virgin is a better brand than Delta too (although buy Delta tickets when I buy tickets).

We allowed this "portfolio of carriers" thing to flourish with the RJ flying that nobody cared about. Now we are becoming a niche player in our own airline.

We need our contract to recognize the Delta MEC. We need to unify Delta flying under the Delta MEC. We need to start making the structural changes which will bind this company to our pilot group.
