Ok. Please explain how allowing the outsourcing of 125 more narrow body airliners at a commuter contractor brings back 2000 furloughees (plus considering that they are almost all TWA and AA did their normal acquisition thing by buying an airline, then shutting it down).
Waiting breathlessly to be enlightened.
The APA's not giving scope anymore, they're taking it back. Allowing 25 70-seaters was a big mistake to begin with. At the very least that exception is going away. As for the 37 and 50 seat beercans, they can implode under the weight of their own inefficiency.
Anderson's union is being pointed to by the other airline management's as the new "standard" in scope give-aways.
