Trp7,

You do realize the US/Korea market, as flown by Delta, was very near zero ... and Narita was a hub for connecting passengers right?

Sailingfun,

Pre School was admittedly a long time ago in my case, but my recall of “sharing” was not that one day Korea eats all my pudding and the next day China eats the Nutella sandwich and tosses me back a bit of crust.

There has been no where near equitable distribution of JV growth.

While we have management which is more interested in pumping cash out the door than investing in what is admittedly low margin, high cost, international flying, we are constantly ceding our future as pilots for Delta Air Lines. Scope isn’t an easy fix, but it is the only fix we have got.

We have a lot of guys close to retirement. We have no retirement to lose, so I am fine with NOT flying to the last day. Point being, as KLM/AirFrance orders 777-300ER (not that they are the most efficient airline) it is pretty apparent that this career has plateaued as a junior nobody on a narrow body. Strike vote? Of course. But maybe just retire and go do something at some company that is actually excited about using capital to grow....
