I agree with whomever wrote that NO ONE knows anything. We are kidding ourselves if we think we are in a better position than anybody else because we have some delta contract (which btw out of all DCI carriers we've got the worst performance), because Anderson and PT are buddy buddies, because of any other pilot's mind made up reason that let's us sleep comfortable at night.

The only thing that is probably working for us is the fact that it'll take a long time for the dust to sattle in a post merger environment and even that is assuming fuel cost wouldn't kill us overnight with fuel trading already at a $117 a barrel. How long will we keep on flying MSP-RST, DTW-FNT, DTW-CAK, MSP-FAR and so on with that kindof a reality?

Also with that kind of a thought process please remember that the rest of our colleagues in the different regionals will be benefiting from the same, in other words.... Same *******, different day.

Bottom line, future is uncertain and it's time we stop eating the union propaganda as fast as we dismiss PT and his aids propaganda. It's all the same crap....one is wrapped up in a shiny blue logo, the other in the form of a Tennessee address.
