I do not really care if this passes or not. I just find it quite hypocritical.
How do you equate this as having an equal effect? Regardless of the fact ORD 747 reopened in short order, the fence precluded ANY LCAL guys from bidding it. The MOU for 747 ONLY affected LUAL guys. And nobody from that side cried about it.
Everybody understood that it made sense in this HIGHLY unusual occurrence. When has ANY company reopened a fleet in a base a year after closing it?
Never mind the fact they lost a HUGE amount of high value customers to Cathay in the process. They irreparably damaged a large amount of UA's revenue stream and realized it,but only after the damage was done.
Punative closure anyone?
