As far as the big picture?

remember a few months ago how skywest's affiliate was claiming they had enough money to 'buy Delta', question, if they have enough money to buy say Alaska and made a new airline called Shuttle America, would that not be against our scope?

The big uproar of the settlement to the 76 seat grievance resulted from ALPA initially filing a grievance. If the lawyers thought we had a chance in hell to win this case it would be filed. Pilots are smart people and they know lots of stuff, but a man's got to know his limitations. (name the Clint Eastwood movie)
Alpha,

Yes, and we all know doctors and lawyers can be hazardous in airplanes, and your point is well taken, however lawyers are also notoriously cautious. We could easily be too timid, or not pursue something where it was the right thing to do because of a lawyers advice of the possibility that it might not go our way. The company and their lawyers are more aggressive and capitalize on our willingness to settle rather than risk any possibility of defeat.

Under that system all they have to keep doing is violating the contract and we'll meet them half way as long as they stop the violation and they in fact force de facto concessions out of us while we claim it as a win because we averted risk.

Great hyperbole, reality is that even in the negotiators notes, the intent though clear to us, was rather ambiguous. Think what would have happened if we lost.

Anyone hearing the rumors out of USAir that there is an announcement coming about them and Alaska?

Just had a friend over there call me. News to me.

We would have galvanized the pilot group that maybe, just maybe their jobs were at stake and they might have taken some personal responsibility for the situation we find our selves in?

Or we could have stayed the course of ALPA spoonfeeding bland oatmeal to the placated pilot group while occasionally they had a little spill down their lip that they had to swipe the spoon at.

Sometimes you just have to do the right thing and go for broke. Think of where we would be if we had won? How many 76 seaters was it? 23? How many NB jobs could that have been? As it was our win was a loss except for a largely worthless no furlough clause, that only had the teeth it did because of the flow back to XJ and CPZ, which is now largely worthless. Hopefully we don't get to test that theory........
