Go read Chairman Moak's letter. Just posed to your e-mail box.
I've been critical of the Union's communication. It was nice to get this letter. Well done!

This letter said exactly what we are all thinking. I am glad Mr. Moak wrote this letter to reassure us that he feels the same about the situation as his members.
Ditto. Great letter and absolutely right-on-the-money sentiments. The DOT and the Obama administration are killing us.
As this letter so eloquently states it may be necessary for us as a group to stand behind this letter, our Union, and our Company. If and when that charge is raised, we all need to be willing to do what is necessary enlighten the DOT!
I know I am more than ready.
Cheers Master Chairman Moak!

I beleive the letter addresses the "Pro Labor" government and the DOT's actions.
Wow, AMR had one hell of a week. Won JAL, thanks DOT for making it known that ATI for JAL-DAL was not likely (reported in multiple places plus Moaks letter) so JAL stuck with the sure thing over the better deal (JALs word), watched DAL-UsAir have their NYC plans trashed and then got to claim the Atlantic with the ATI for BA-AMR.
AMR, congratulations! You won! Let it be a lesson to all, it pays to make sure that as the DOT choses winners that they're in your corner.
Here's some fun numbers:
Prior to this ruling BA had 33.7% of the US-UK market, AMR had 13.7%, VA 21%, CAL/UAL 18.6% and AF/DAL 8.6% and USAir 3.5%. They also will have 52% of U.S.-Spain market, next higest DAL at 24.6%.
Now AMR/BA has 47.4%, VA 21%, CAL/UAL 18.6%, DAL/AF 8.6%, USAir 3.5%.
Nice.
Of course, full disclosure, we own 70% of US-France market.
Well, I guess if U.K. goes bankrupt it might be nice to be going to France instead.
p.s. when I say AMR won I did not say AMR's pilots won. I believe APA was against the BA-AMR deal because it'll cost them jobs.
