I don't recall defending our management. Of course we stopped them... with a scope clause. Are you really surprised that any management team would try to eliminate domestic flying with RJ's? You know... like Comair etal??

We're not arrogant enough to think we as hourly employees can pressure anyone about buying airplanes. I just know our scope clause mandates that WE fly them.

I'm not surprised that you don't see our attorney's cross examinations as having refuted anything. You probably just read our attorney's data, and quotations as them just saying: "I disagree!!" The reality is that the Delta witnesses did a satisfactory job, and our attorneys did a better than average job at cross examination and refutation. In order to appreciate any of this, you must be able to detach yourself from your personal biases.

I hate sushi, so I couldn't tell you. I'm kind of a stickler for having my food cooked.
