I think the junior DAL pilots need to understand this. If you thought you were in the minority before the merger, you now have 5,000 pilots who agree with you completely. I don't know if that will tip the balance, but it couldn't hurt.

Carl, if that's the case and you guys were such scope "hawks", why did the merged pilot group inherit Compass? How many 76 seaters do Pinnacle and Mesaba fly?
Why did you go from 160 DC-9's to 60, and have 55 large RJ's at the merger, with no new narrowbody aircraft coming?
If Moak is _so_ bad, why isn't Dave Stevens our MEC Chairman? Or Ray Miller? Or Mark McClain? Why aren't Jim Van Sickle or Bob Hesselbein standing up?
Remember, as you said, the Chairman doesn't have a vote. He serves at the pleasure of the MEC. Moak was just elected January 17.
Delta has had split MEC's in the past. Any Rep is responsible for standing up for his constituents. Are you saying all the FNWA reps are too cowardly to do what they did on your MEC?
Right....
