Whats so hard to understand? Together Delta, the non existent RAHs largest customer by traffic, along with American, UsAir and CAL are all chiping in to help RAH grow Frontier/Midwest into viable stand alone competition. They do this by replacing their own employees with those who have zero, nada, zilch commitment to their airlines and using properties maintained by the lowest bidder of the lowest bidder.

And all of the union lawyers of the unions whose contracts are being violated are too afriad to question a judgement from years ago.

It makes complete sense: sell your people, rent part time replacements, build your competition, profit in the short run.

Yep-follow the money. It's in Bombardier's best interest that republic take these and future orders. There's big money working here.

We've wasted almost 100 million in Tomahawks alone a couple hours into the "conflict" or "regionalized contingency" or whatever they're calling it this week. Good thing we have that HSBC credit card! Weeeeeeeeeee!

ATL has not reserves and no more ppl to do GS's. They have two MAC trips sitting in the pot and no one to cover them. When ATL, the accumulator in the system dries up, people start getting calls.

Exactly. At the very least our figureheads should be painting RA into a corner demanding to know where he stands on this especially when he's trying to act like Herb and "unleash the DNA of Delta" or whatever his focus group came up with. We have a lot of guys that want to follow him into the breach blindly. Our team of leaders needs to commit to Delta long term like some want to believe or be outed for the Lorenzo types some think they are.

Actually, it is better for Bombardier is a US Mainline carrier signed and order and then took deliver. Then they would not have to concern themselves' with a pesky scope clause.

You bring up a good point regarding the next AE, I am sure they have probably delayed it until the Slot Swap deal becomes official. If anything it shows that they are probably close to coming to a settlement on it.

Not sure how much hiring has been going on, but I get the impression it has slowed dramatically for the time being. I could see the summer schedule keeping most guys busy, maybe even a few GS here and there for some.
Were those ramblings from a good source or just someone ramblings?
