Tin - you are wrong. The RJDC wasn't involved in Lawson's missive. Dan Ford disagreed with Lawson and thought it was bad that both the Delta MEC and the Comair MEC Chairman were playing politics with Delta's furloughed pilots.

The Delta MEC Chair, who represents Delta pilots to Delta Inc., could have negotiated with Delta Inc. to hire Delta pilots at Delta's wholly owned subsidiary. Or could have simply asked Delta management to remove the offending policy at Comair. Better yet, the Delta MEC could have negotiated effective scope that forced flying to be performed at mainline, avoiding furloughs all together. When Delta is furloughing and DCI is hiring three times as many pilots, that fact alone is evidence of a scope failure no matter what the "supply side scope" guys write on this board.

As for a silly grudge against Comair pilots, it does not matter. There were three Comair pilots in my class. That's more than Air Force, or Navy. Once a pilot gets hired a Delta, they are Delta pilots.

Loathing of Comair pilots is misplaced anger. IMHO that anger is better focused on trying to push for good scope that avoids Delta pilot furloughs in the first place.
