Of course, Mr. Parker has not shown any indication that he understands this fact any more than the West pilots have. Which is why I have little hope, in today’s environment that USAirways will survive. Mr. Parker could have brought the East pilots to parity with the West from the beginning. The West would not have been so overconfident that the East would capitulate and the East would not have had so much at stake. Mr. Parker was never insightful enough to be proactive and true to form, pilots behaved in their usual cannibalistic manner.
Reroute- the Nic will never see the light of day- the airline will go bankrupt first. As long as there is this much pilot-pilot rancor, investors will see it for the civil war, poison that it is.
