He's not the only one. I've heard that from at least two other A's I've flown with. Both emphasized that the destruction of the DB plan completely disassociated their futures with that of the company. They wanted to extract as much money as possible from them in the next 5-10 years and the company could liquidate after that.

Give up scope or try not to regain what we had? There is a difference. Some people don't want to pay to go after the current 76 seaters out there, and I can understand that. But, if they want to give future 100 seaters to Comair or ASA, then that is different. I don't know many who would ever agree to that. Recapturing flying already lost would be very expensive, and that maybe is his point. I personally would never vote to allow any DCI carrier even one more 70 seater or larger.

From a strictly self interest point of you I get it. The loss of the DB and the rise of the DC has created a split in the collective self interest in this industry. Until the Deadzoners are gone, scope sales will have to be monitored closely. Younger guys that are fully invested in the DC plan have more of a long term profitability interest in the company. Not saying those guys are wrong, just different self interests.

Wife tells me I can't make fun of old men or gays. Apparently drunks are still OK. Feel free to repost (that way I have no culpability).
