In related news, DALPA is rumored to be "actively engaging" the company in an effort to craft a code share agreement that grossly favors Qatar and further erodes Delta pilots' futures.

I'm applying. Looking for a place with career advancement opportunities--rather than the extended and indefinite stagnation here. Thanks again, DALPA.

And that's just domestic.

Or maybe the MBA Factories are spitting out grads on par with the legions of basket weaver majors with double minors in self esteem and feelings because when you look at the raw numbers of their little outsource experiment over the last decade and a half, not even Charlie Sheen would call it winning. Even David Hasslehoff eating the cheeseburger off the floor while his crying daughter taped him and put it on the internets would be like "daymn doods, that's sad."

In many of these cases the pilots could have been flying for free on stolen jet-a and it still would have been a net loss to the company. You have to look at the whole picture including customer loyalty, quality control, and future value. Takes more than a actuarial degree and a free Tuesday night.

I'd like to see the total write downs on all things RJ from 2002-2012.
