Yeah, yeah it does. PLEASE....PLEASE hold the line on scope. This is it. Short a NASA/AA merger, this is our last chance.

Just for discussion, is scope as important now? I actually think that the much larger fleet size may make scope less of an issue. What does everyone think?

It is always an issue. Fix the Air Lingus stuff, fix JV stuff, be very careful about Small Jet Scope (SJS)

We (DAL) are moving towards bigger jets, but it only takes one CEO and a new engine to change a trend.

I think the United logo will reappear permanently as a retro look in years to come.

The one link above does address this and I really hope the Union stands strong...of course there are always the "black cloud" folks that will "predict" negative things.

The companies believe front-line employees will be minimally affected by the merger, with the reductions coming principally from retirements, attrition and voluntary programs.
