I also note you get a little... irritated when anyone has the nerve to tell you anything about NW. But you've got no problem characterizing Moak's stance, when he's only been your Chairman for a short period. You also don't seem to like other people making unconfirmed statements.
Why don't you find us a quote? It shouldn't be hard, since you think he said it over and over.
Over.
The quote is true but it was not specifically about Delta, Lee Moak said RJ's are good in general for feed and that American pilots stance on scope was preventing them from expansion in some markets resulting in greater mainline furloughs.
Once again ALPA will not touch a merger scenario that puts a regional together with mainline. With the laws associated with mergers, and ALPA merger policy, some senior regional pilots will be going above junior mainline pilots on the combined list.
If you want to see an example of what I'm talking about, ask any eastie at US airways how long it will take for them to come back to ALPA if, or when, they push the westies back down the list. They will probably tell you the next day, or at least that's what they tell me.
