China Eastern set to join SkyTeam alliance -paper
Mon Apr 12, 2010 3:33pm EDT
PARIS, April 12 (Reuters) - Shanghai-based China Eastern Airlines (600115.SS)(0670.HK) is set to join the SkyTeam global airline alliance, La Tribune newspaper reported in a preview of its Tuesday edition.
The move is expected to be announced at the end of the week, the newspaper said.
SkyTeam includes Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA) and Delta Air Lines (DAL.N), as well as China Southern Airlines (1055.HK)(600029.SS).
China Eastern, the only one of the country's top three carriers without a global affiliation, had said earlier this year it was in talks with SkyTeam, as well as rival groupings Oneworld and Star Alliance.
SkyTeam was not immediately reachable for comment. (Writing by James Regan; Editing by Tim Dobbyn)

I believe you, but who cares? Now, when you say "many" and specifically mention senior Whale FOs - it gets very ambiguous and hard to prove one way or another, but like I said who cares?

Speaking of experience - at what point does senility overcome the value of experience?

And finally, less than 3 years until the first Age 65 discrimination lawsuit! :rolleyes:

Scoop :confused:

Scoop,

I don't think the quality of the contract had much to do with why most North guys voted for it. As I look back to how things were when we voted for this contract, I remember there was a lot of distrust harbored on both sides. Back then it was more about North vs. South rather than Delta Pilots vs. DAL, and getting the best contract for our group. I bet if you ask, most North guys would tell you that we felt if we didn't vote for the deal, we would have somehow gotten screwed. Ie. Fragmented, stapled, sold down the river, made to wear hats, etc. :)
