Everyone seems to believe a merger is coming soon. RA seems to like to plan this out well in advance. Are there any former ex high level NWA or Delta SVP or higher people now working at Alaska, or Hawaiian or any other possible merger partners who could be working to make sure our networks don't overlap too much and to smooth in this supposed merger?

Dir of Flt ops @ AS is Ret DAL CP and VP or Something or Other....But my feeling is that he isn't the Mole. As said over & over...AS is a Free Milk situation. It sucks for DAL pilots (loss of flying) but the DAL Mngt LOVES it. I think RA needs the TA done so he has hard #'s to goto the bank w/ for future purchases (a/c or AIRLINE.)

Carl I was appalled and stunned after reading what you just quoted so I clicked the link and now I'm shaking my head even more after reading the preceding few sentences. 
I do not understand the bold part at all.

A potential Delta-Alaska tie-up may be more about denying a massive portion of American's restructuring strategy, thereby tenderizing AA even further.

It's the classic "rocking chair" mentality that some pilots have. It's simply the belief that the company is ultimately always right, and there's nothing that can be done by a labor group to force the company to do something they don't want to do. It's a basic disbelief in unionism, and a basic belief in "trickle down" after management has eaten their full.

Of course you don't understand it because you have no clue what the TA really says vice what the BK contract we are currently in says...
