I don't know the current FO rep very well, but I do know the current EVP. His campaign letter talked about entrenched ALPA bureaucracy and he's been on FPL for years. Is he serious?

And for what it's worth targeting wasn't really on my mind, but you just jogged my memory about some of BB's work.

...........................

He's been one of the most successful volunteers in recent memory in fighting said entrenched bureaucracy. He 's not on full time flight pay loss.

Reference targeting that was the work primarily of the R&I committee of which BB was not part, approved by the MEC at the time unanimously, R and G alike, and reaffirmed in the BK TA passage. If he has the powers of ALPA mind control attributed to him I would elect him as a Rep without question :rolleyes:

Have you ever met a Rep or ALPA volunteer you like or do you just dislike everyone who volunteers their time to improve our pay, benefits, and working conditions?

He said we would swap ORD gates for LAX gates.

In addition to the new south runway, they are adding a "victor loop".

There are quite a few sources of slightly used AirBus aircraft on the market. They don't sell as well in the used market because the reputation they have for being expensive to maintain.

Did you mean narrow body?

If nobody else steps up to run for the position, the people who do step up will be elected by default.

Its apathy from the pilot group to blame for the lack of "new blood".

When you say new south runway, do you mean replacing one of the existing south runways, or actually building a new runway (six in total?)

Looks like more people are willing to bet DL will continue to gift them capacity.

Between DL and UA, the CVG-NYC market is more than saturated in frequency and capacity. All this will do is ignite a fare war on a few routes and either DL will yield to JB or JB will pull out in a year or two after their local government fun money runs out.

If they go west out of CVG (LGB/SFO/SEA/SLC) that will instantly trash yields and result in either an unsustainable fare war or someone having to pull out.

I actually hope they do it though. DL needs to be tested directly, and if DL's stratedgy is to cut and run and gift capacity to whoever wants it, the employees and shareholders need to understand that is their clear vision of the future. Likewise, if DL intends to fight when necessary then that message (desperately) needs to get out as well. Either way we'll know where we stand, and either way another dellusional local airport kingdom will lose more than they gain in the long run. Who knows though, maybe they can get some sweet stimulus money for a 5th runway just in time for the pullout. :D
