1. I have heard the Delta pilot union has a large scope, what is this scope?
2. Why don't the pilots just say that they do not want to merge?
3. I have written my senators to tell them that I do not think a merger between Delta and Northwest is in the best interest of (me) the American consumer. Has anyone else that is not in favor of the merger written their congressmen?
Thanks for your thoughts

(1)Scope....a part of the pilots contract that says something like: Delta pilots will do all of the flying for this company in any aircraft above____ number of seats.
(2) "Why don`t pilots say they don`t want to merge" that`s about as realistic as you standing on a set of railroad tracks and say "I don`t want the train to hit me".
(3) a good idea, but a waste of a 41 cent stamp.
Sorry if this isn`t what you want to hear, but after 30 years in this business, I guess I`m just too jaded.
