Chuck you are wrong on that one. My new hire number was 6450 ish in 2000. My OE first leg was a DC-9-10 with 76(?) seats in it. I watched the commuters expand as we at mainline sat on furlough. Some for 5+ years. All along we were told that the RJs were good for us, feeding mainline and all.
I am with Chuck on this one ACL. Usually you have some good posts, this one not so much.
In my opinion ALPA is broken. The question is can they be fixed or is it time to start over. I am not ready to send in the card yet, but I am ready to listen.
