ALPA could work but it would require a leadership team that thinks quite differently than the average pilot. They would have to be able to think outside the box, be adamant about real scope restoration (sunsets with most and very limited JV deals that yield something to this pilot group) and not be afraid to get a black eye in the process, or give one. It's almost like these guys are afraid of walking into managements office and ruffling a few feathers when needed. T.O. disgusts me...

Wow, over 16,500 calls sold between a 13 and 17 strike on LCC that expire on Friday. Someone is thinking they agree to a merger by then. Lot's of money to be made. FWIW I bought 30 calls with a strike of 13 for about a buck fifty. Put in a stop at 1.20.One call equals 100 shares FWIW.

You did write something once that is an accurate reflection of your "thoughts"

Keyboard warriors disgust me...:rolleyes:

DAL loose scope? Premerger DAL allowed 30 76 seat RJs. NWA allowed 90. NWA was already in a JV with KLM. NWA had 20,000+ segments ticketed on AK, DAL had 2,000. Your argument begins with an invalid premise.

Yeah, it's tough for CAL to come up to DAL's staffing requirements...there's was a lot more liberal. How many does UAL still have on furlough? Johnso pointed out some other obvious flaws in your "thoughts"...maybe you should look for some better facts as you share your "concern."

DAL $12.5 B market cap
UCAL $8.7 B market cap
AMR/LCC looking at a $11B cap if they put their deal together.

You mean line pilots disgust you slowplay. Whiney line pilots and their whinier reps removed you from that cushy job as an MEC bureaucrat, and you're unhappy about it. I understand. But lashing out against line pilots ("keyboard warriors") is unhealthy...especially since you're back to being one.

Anger is not a strategy.

Like the jokers (various ALPA warriors on FPL and ficticious Bill Lumbergs) who pushed this POS of a PWA. And yes, you and your ALPA bretheren who pushed this thing in the lounges were the biggest jokers off all for puting your name to it. When I proved all the loopholes in this contract these P2Ps would buckle and admit to not having read the PWA at all, just the highlights from the MEC! But my favorite response ever was from an LEC type in ATL that this PWA unlike any other before hinges on trust with management!! YGTBFSM...

So yes, you are a sheep and in my opinion could stand having a clue or two inserted vertically. Good riddance.

You mean contracts? 1 contract = 100 shares

Didn't your keyboard warrior leader just say anger is not a strategy?

You haven't seen loopholes in a contract son. You show me a contract with a few dozen "to the extent possible"s and I'll show you loopholes.

You need to be a tad more humble with regard to what you have NOW. Not what you had THEN because that's as ancient history as running 777s from ATL to MCO.

Welcome to the 21st century of aviation.

By one call I mean contract, sorry if I confused anybody. Lot's of call contracts traded today. The two boards meet on Wed. At 11-12 billion the LCC share is valued at somewhere between 17-21 per share. That's why I bought 30 contracts with a pretty tight stop.

The Carl Spackler translation machine needs to be activated here:

Translation: Line pilots who don't speak from MEC talking points are angry, emotional dividers. Add additional name calling as needed.

Translation: I don't like it when people point out loopholes in a contract that I vehemently urged people to vote for. So I'll refer to you as "son" in an attempt to portray you as an inexperienced boob too new to have opinions.

Translation: I know he didn't say anything about what he had THEN, but I'll say this anyway in the hopes that nobody remembers it has nothing to do with TA's and their weaknesses. Especially as it relates to P2P volunteers who speak from MEC talking points and didn't learn the actual TA language.

Translation: Last ditch attempt to denigrate and change the subject so nobody even remembers what we were talking about. Now where is my copy of that Saul Alinsky book?
