.

US Airways/America West has been a major train wreck of a merger. Delta/Northwest has been arguably the most successful merger in airline history. We made $1 billion profit in just the 3rd quarter of this year! DPA has been very clear that it's formation has nothing to do with the SLI.
Nice straw man, Fishin. Maybe if you and tsquare say it enough times, some people will start believing you.

Great strategy......
To be clear, I don't blame any of the above on ALPA/DALPA. I blame our response and lack of a plan to recover on ALPA/DALPA. I blame our surrender (as so eloquently stated by you
) on ALPA/DALPA. Who else is there to blame for this? (well, besides about 60% of us who have agreed to go along with DALPA on this)

You have to remember, you're not the only one that gets copies of the "special committee's" talking points dude.

Stomping you're feet, waving your arms, and other emotional outbursts are not going to be a successful strategy for your "special "committee." It's not about making anyone hurt. It's a simple business decision to replace a poorly performing vendor.
