I have pity for the employees of a company whose management has done such a poor job as to probably need bankruptcy. It sucks to likely lose pension benefits, pay and loss of positions.

Does that sound familiar to any of the "old-timers here?

***Though DAL and the ETIC will provide essentially "DIP" financing, it won't actually be bankruptcy but the effects will be the same***props to ACL for getting that point out first


How would DAL pilots feel if the 777 and 747's we have were to be painted in AF/KL colors and flown on the same schedule and city pairs that had just been flown by DAL crews...... Let's hope there is some light at the end of the tunnel for JAL pilots/employees too.

(I have less sympathy, but still some for "gai-jin contracted pilots" that might get the axe......)
