Giving our management a free pass with worthless scope is a critical mistake. Just as having over 800 RJs was an unnecessary self induced nightmare.

Sometimes you have to save management from themselves.

In my opinion.

Yes, let's let pilots run the airline. That'll work out just fine. Lol

As silly as letting pilots negotiate contracts.

All we have are generic Intl a/c to run into the hubs of our Intl partners.
Delta does have Dreamliners.. They Own 49% of these...



and the second one just replaced a 767 flight from Seattle to London.

Every time I see one taxi by, I shout out, "THERE GOES MY BUDDY, PROVIDING ME A PROFIT SHARING CHECK, HAVE A GREAT TRIP!"

You ignorant pilots, shiny new airplanes will mean the demise of our competitors. Put new tires on that ER and get to work. True story, in customs last week, UAL passenger told he goes out of his way to ride the 787.

There is a reason for that. Pressurization differential pressure maximum is 9.4 psid, so the cabin altitude is only 6000 feet when at 43,000 feet. That is a big difference, especially if you are a frequent flyer.. or a 60+ year old pilot.
