Genius? Why yes, our management is smart. I would not want to work for anyone else.
We should see DCI for what it is; our low cost replacement pilot competition. If Compass beats down the costs of DCI, then how big a concession should we be prepared to take to continue operation of our MD88's, A318's, DC9's and 737's? The most significant variable costs in an apples to apples comparison is labor. ALPA should not be in the business of beating down labor costs.
