I do think you should be brought up, supported CMR guys on strike in 2001, but in the end only the respective employee group can fight their fight. CMR guys certainly didn't rally behind the DAL guys the past eight years.
I was at CMR at that time, and now a NERD (NeverEverRealDelta). And not to steal the thread, it was CMR mgmt that was in charge of the hiring, not our MEC. Also, some believed that the Real Delta pilots wanted to come in as Captains and displace the bottom of our list. Also, somewhere, not sure, in the ALPA bylaws, you can't have 2 ALPA cards at 2 different ALPA carriers. One more thing, I remember being on strike in 01, the Delta guys were kind enough to walk with us. However, the signs they carried talked about their upcoming contract that helped send them in to BR along with us. Then when they got the contract they, delta pilots, were encougaging us to settle for a worse contract then we got. So, it is not about treating the regional carriers like a triple A club. I for one am glad we didn't hire the delta guys at that time, because all it would have done is caused a bunch of training for our company to write in the books. Rant over for me...BTW when I get a chance to fly with a real delta guy, nothing will be mentioned of Comair.
