Really would suck to see all those routes flown via codeshare with planes with JAL written on the side, park a 10-20 widebodies, eliminate a few hundred high paying widebody jobs, have the effect ripple through the entire list, and furlough a few hundred off the bottom.
Though I don't know how realistic this is for DL-JAL, this situation is a very scary new threat to all of our jobs, and its not just hacking away at the bottom in order to "preserve" the good jobs this time.... we need to stop any chance of this happening before it gets out of control like it did with RJs.
