And I suspect the Delta situation is going to be the same. Concede, concede, concede...when unions stop conceding, and for airlines to raise air fare for a change, then everyone will be in a lot better of a situation. But that's just my observation.
Don't look at the Unions................Look at who you voted for in 2000 and 2004. Just what miracles do you expect from unions with an anti labor administration and Greddy CEO's who use bankruptcy as a way to void labor contracts.
Under bankruptcy laws with the 1113 filings of NWA and DAL and Mesaba Hawaiin (I think) just to name a few............................................... .
What magic are you expecting?
Give me 80,000 Profesional Airline Pilots under
one Union ( Are you listening SWA, AAL adn UPS) who are
all ready and willing for a National supension of Service................and I bet things could change.
First find me all those Pilots who are willing and I'll give you a Union with some Clout. Until then we are all at the mercy of the courts and Anti- labor administrators. The Sad truth.
