I've got some other reasons but your right, the alarm bells should be going off.

Great History Lesson
Thanks for posting that, it's a great review of where we've been. This talk of the F-word, BLG reductions, and the re-bid (****) for old dudes---it's a big diversion from what's really going on.
We need to be willing to go the Mat as a unified group to protect our schedules from being "sodimized." Here we are the most profitable (or at least one the top 2 or 3) airlines on the planet, and all we are talking about is the F-word and BLG reduction. YGBSM---it's time to dig in and refuse to fly these screwed up pairings when they result in us being too fatigued to fly them safely. It's the only way to get them fixed. I know--easier said then done.

"FedEx attempts to buy DC-9s but is thwarted by the major passenger carriers that see FedEx as a threat."
Unfortunately, your analysis fails to state the fact that, ALPA led the charge in trying to keep us from getting large aircraft.........now they just take our money......so who won?
