This idea that somehow AA has pilots who as human beings are somehow DIFFERENT than the pilots at UA and DL is laughable and ridiculous.
Should we probably merge their operation into our own? Yes. Absolutely.
Anything beyond a pure staple and fences is a non starter, as it would be at UA and DL. To think otherwise is pure fantasy.
So with that said, how is our group more “toxic” than either of those two?
A staple is what it would be. And of course fences would be a part of that conversation.
And it’s obvious what United is doing. They’re just shrinking their regionals and growing the mainline. Even their CEO has been very open about their plans. Delta has mostly already done that. I won’t speak to Delta’s discussion with Endeavor or DALPA because it’s not my place to.
