I've always wondered why we board BC 1st. It makes more sense to board from rear, less standing around. If I was a business man I would want to sit in the gate area with full connectivity vs sitting in the airplane while the people walk by bumping my elbow.

Heyas ACL,
We DO all hope that they get their single carrier status. What WAS in the contract is not really relevant.
In any event, a SC determination may or may not produce a problem for DAL with regards to section 1.
1) First we need the ALPA types to determine whether or not such a entity DOES violate section 1.
Nu

This language was removed for two reasons:
(1) To increase competition among DCI carriersUnintended results
Just a reminder, Air Canada Jazz operates this ...- Increased competition resulted in lower costs among DCI carriers
- Savings from reduced feeder costs would result in more money for mainline bargaining
- Increased "bargaining credits" to be used to offset concessionary negotiations
- Since pilot costs are a controllable variable expense management attacked pilot wages and longevity at regional carriers
- Comair 5191 and Colgan 3407 had circumstances indicating career stresses were a contributing factor in both losses
- Regional losses were underwritten on Delta's ledger
- Expanded outsourced flying has resulted in fines from the DOT, lowered customer service rankings and spill over to competitors
- The hoped for reductions in expense never materialized and the negotiated offsets disappeared in subsequent concessionary bargaining
This was effective in making ASA, Comair and later Mesaba, Colgan and Compass marketable. SkyWest, Trans States and Republic all have aircraft on order (or in operation) which would have violated job protection provisions contained in our earlier pilot working agreements.
Not shabby for a "regional airline pilot" operation which was drawn outside mainline scope provisions ... .

Besides, they can still board at last call, however, they all seem to want to get on first.

Besides, there is some pleasure in smugly sitting, sipping your drink from a glass, while watching the Wall Mart crowd shuffle by.
For the airline, there is the potential up sell.
Not that I'm disrespecting Wall Mart shoppers. I bought a shirt from Good Will the other day.
