Just look at Air Lingus/United and Openskies/BA...some scary stuff going on already.
What if we "win" the RJ scope and end up all flying feed for say Jet Airways widebodies, what then?

This scares me 10 times more than RJ scope!

Best hammer is a unified pilot group along with good timing.

It made me a bit unnerved and ticked off that Emirates was all over the advertising for last weeks Breeders Cup. Yes, they can spend their money as they see fit, however they are dumping massive amounts of it on gaining and growing a foothold in the US. I would bet they are spending massive amounts on lobbying efforts in an effort to focus on the growing part. Talk about a camels nose under the tent.

I keep seeing you post about a unified group and your opinions against DPA. The problem is we are already a divided group....... Those who want to believe in ALPA even with all its shortcomings and those who would like to see a new representative body that will support Delta pilots not the masses.
