Isnt this becoming painfully clear?
While I am not an insider, I am trying to look at scope recapture from many angles...I cannot fathom why our former MEC chair kicked compass (and to a degree mesaba) to the curb without coming to the conclusion that there had to be something tangible that he personally gained...besides being alpa nat'l prez. It just does not add up. (not making an accusation, it just doesnt make any sense to me).
An insider who knows our scope inside and out has got to be able to see the big picture clearer than me. Alaska growth/ horizon outsourced via skywest is just another end around. Republic has got to be challenged by us (DALPA) regardless of the steps required.
I am not a radical, but some radical action IS required. JM is certainly not the answer. We are fiddling while the house is burning down around us.
