We can see this as a bump in the road, or the end of the road, I personally prefer the former.

Just because you will have your own MEC does not mean that the relationship needs to cool. I would have like to see things done differently, but what is done is done. The MEC made the choice, and in doing so passed the political football up to National.

There were some representational issues with the DAL MEC representing CPS the way the current structure was set up. ( Even I admit that) I would have loved to see it dealt with differently.(inclusion not exclusion, and it still can be that way) The decision was made, and we willfully divested them. It will be easier for DAL to sell CPS. We should have waited so the company would need divestiture by us to complete the sale. That was giving something for nothing. (At a min). National has not made the decision yet, have they?

If asked the way I would vote I would have voted to delay the decision at a min. As the NWA guys put it, those jobs were there jobs created in 1113C. It is a very contentious issue at this level.
