eaglefly, You probably know about the AA contract better then I do. I'm not 100% certain of the restrictions but I fairly certain there are some.
What wasn't allowed in 1995 is commonplace today. What isn't allowed today will be commonplace in 5-7 years. History has been and will be our teacher.
Exactly how long and by what method(s) have yet to be determined, but 2 things are certain. ALPA will fail miserably in any leadership role (just as they have for the last 15 years) and the pilots themselves will fail to unite together (major and regional alike) to define a mutually beneficial and desirable future (just as they have for the past 15 years).
Confidence on these two continuing faliures is extremely high.
