Winglets, if you have such a hard-on for pointing out the whipsaw potential of a parent corporation owning two pilot groups, why aren't you all over Eagle (AMR), Horizon (Alaska), or Compass (DAL) etc?

Rather than hitching my star to a combined regional pilot list, I'd sure rather have a unified list with a mainline parent. Certainly MUCH more potential for loss of income if a mainline plane is replaced by an RJ.

There is a significantly larger threat to the industry as a whole if mainline is played off regional, dontcha think?
