We are starting to see the next chapter in this book...RAH is the first to step out, and I'm sure Jerry is watching carefully and has a plan B and C....ASA/Skywest has a contract for another 11 years with Delta...I'm sure we can figure something out by then....
Joe,
It will not come "without a fight" because our own MEC will not let it happen while they are in office. Frankly, our problem isn't you, or Dan, it is ourselves and the belief that we can trade altitude for airspeed and "sell" one pilot's flying to benefit another pilot.
ASA/SkyWest is not in compliance with provisions of the contract which require they be competitive with the two lowest bidders. Compass screws up that deal with Mesa and Pinnacle close behind. Suing Delta did not win them any friends either. Your SA should include those threats, which are more serious than pilots' mental masturbation on APC Forums.
Realistically, returning flying to Delta is one form of "unity" and it is fine with me if pilots come with the flying under some sort of bid restricted double staple, or whatever you call it. But, realistically, the odds are better that Megan Fox broke in to my hotel room and is in bed with wine and roses waiting for me to finish a beer under the palm trees.
Here's to hoping.
