What I have been hashing, once again on here, is that yes, we may not like what DAL is doing with F9 with adding flying to their certificate, there is nothing illegal about it. Changing the structure of their corporation will cause DALPA to press to test on this issue, and I would like to see nothing more. That said, unless something changes, sadly, it is nothing new, and something that has been going on for quite some time.
All of the anger is great, but all it is doing is creating heat. What it needs to be doing is creating movement and leverage for our union to get the wording changed in the PWA.
Also remember that DAL made this bed, and it is good from our perspective to see them twist in the wind from it. They will learn from it. In the end that helps us to do what needs to be done, not what should have been done. Look forward, and change what we can today and tomorrow.
Sorry for the low blow. Don't mean to create heat without a purpose. I just keep hearing that Delta wants to get out of the RJ business and this seems like a good oportunity for them to trim some of that fat.
Sounds like most guys would rather talk about underboob.
