I should have been clearer in my previous post about Congress never having intervened. I was talking about the entire history of airline unions, not all unions.

But your post regarding the very recent threats of intervention by Congress actually supports the discussion we've been having. This proves that strikes and serious strike threats are not impossible in the RLA, and the NMB is not some sort of blocking agent of unions' right to strike. Some people have been strongly inferring this...and it's patently false.

Flew with a LCA today and he also mentioned the "big announcement" by the company in April. He said he didn't know any details.

Any guesses what this might be?

I had a hairier version of that stretched out on the bed greet me when I got to my room in CLE a few years ago. He made a lasting impression, let me tell you:eek:

New paint scheme.

We had a late checkout. How was I supposed to know they'd goof it up downstairs and give you a key to my room?

Is it just me or does that plane look saggy?

It looks like an overly tatted, and saggy, ex-NBA player.:confused:

Yes!!

Yea, that due to high energy costs, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

I get a kick out of this. Don't you guys see that they are doing the same thing to you that they have already done to the regionals? They are simply moving the ticket brokerage up a level, and soon your customer wont know or care which "skyteam" airline they are flying on.
