Before any pretend lawyers start up, or before any pilots who yearn for the day when "well it should be such-and-such a way" and anyone listened or cared, know that the company would be liable. The company says so, ny state says so, alpa says so. It is fact.
While the company Endeavor cried and whined about the shuttle costing x number of dollars, the Delta shuttles by golden touch cost 2x(3) (twice as big, 3 times the frequency), or 6x.
Also, we're not mainline, no one cares we should be. We arent. Im saying this for our guys as much as the trolls from mainline that feel like they need to come in and tell us how dumb we are.
We ride the Delta Shuttle in MSP, sounds like the infrastructure is already in place and it saves Delta money - why aren’t you NYC guys pushing for this?
