Scope recovery would be a conflict of interest to the ASA, Comair, Compass, and Pinnacle pilot groups. National has to represent all of it's members equally.

Bar, I'd love to see how overpaid I was at DCI if you have the short version handy, especially if you include how many hours I had to fly to credit what I did vs. how many hours you guys typically fly to credit what you do. Not saying you're wrong, but it certainly never felt that way!
That said, if we are woefully unproductive vs. DAL, in many cases you could blame the strange pairings DAL assigned to us, just as much as the odd philosophies our Bid Production guys clung to. We'd run into Pinnacle guys telling us about 24-hour 4-days that were commutable on both sides, while senior FOs at Comair couldn't make min guarantee working four 4-day trips because the trips weren't worth enough.
I think everyone wants to see Delta flying performed solely by Delta pilots, but only you guys have the power to fight that fight. Good luck!

Conclusion ... pilot pay differentials are not sufficient to buy airplanes or justify regional airlines' existence.
... and I completely agree about the total and absolute mess Delta made of Comair. Somehow everyone seemed to forget that Comair is a Delta asset and part of our bottom line. As some of our pilots would cheer any harm that came to Comair, a few of us realized it would result in harm to our Company & less money in our profit sharing checks.

ALCON,
Much obliged for all the responses. ACL, I have an Otterbox cover for my Iphone, and it has "saved my bacon" more than once already.
Thanks again,
GJ

The best thing we could do for them is help them get jobs where their longevity in the brand is a career, not a regional flavor of the day.
We have the same interest.

Actually, in my case that is true. It was the F4 that got me interested in Nasal Radiation. As a matter of fact, the last time the Blue Angels were awesome was when they flew that airplane.... lots of smoke... noise.. and it looked mean and fast just sitting on the ground... and of course proof that anything can fly with a big enough engine. So I wound up living Maverick's nightmare... flying rubber dog doo out of Hong Kong.
Oh? What squadron and when, if you can tell. CVG and I flew 'The Mighty Herk' for the Navy, in Hawaii...and didn't have a penny to show for it.
