He and captnjs are two of the biggest concessionists on this forum. Don't waste your key strokes.

And that's a quote from a representative of Pravda.

Pulling out of markets and giving them to code share partners is not a way to save or increase ALPA pilot jobs. ALPA spends so much time pointing the membership in the direction of their chosen boogey men that the membership completely misses the fact that their premium international flying and pretty much all international growth potential is getting out-sourced to alliance/partner airlines. Often times State supported; low pay and working condition airlines which are worse than the chosen boogey men. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

Spot on comment, as usual.

And then there was the time ALPA went against the 3rd class medical reform for GA, and at the last second.

Not cool

So premium international flying getting out sourced away is best represented by a once daily 3 hour tag flight from TPE to NRT getting axed? Got it. That chip you carry on your shoulder from Airways must weigh a metric ton fella.

Taipei - Gone
Bangkok - Gone
Shenzhen Shekou check-in for HKG departure - Gone
Mumbai - Gone
JFK-NRT = Gone

...but more importantly Delta airlines only serve two cities in mainland China and no cities in India.

No chip on my shoulder, just showing that the ALPA strategy for job protection/growth is fatally flawed.

How dare you back up your observations with facts!

Sort of like giving up ORD to PIA flying to a regional, what could that possibly lead to.....

Meanwhile at UAL in last 3 years service has been added or started to AKL, CTU, HGH, MUC, PVG, SIN, and XIY. UAL ALPA happens to have similar strategies towards job protection as DAL ALPA.

AMR has added AKL, HKG, ICN, and SYD. APA also believes the ME3 are bogeymen.

I see little to no linkage between Delta pulling out of foreign markets (mostly dismantling inter Asia NW NRT hub) and ALPA's appropriate campaign against the three airlines from 'Slavers Bay.' Everyone I know at DAL is keenly aware and far from content about partnership outsourcing.
