Nu
So MD80, you seem a little confused. Section 1 (Scope) is not and has never been designed to protect the jobs of another carrier. The Railway Labor Act doesn't even allow an airline to bargain for the benefits of another carrier. Pretty simple concept...really.

Slowplay is right when he says Delta had nothing to do with that. This was a business decision by NWA to try and hurt AirTran.

Again, Slowplay is right on this. You guys took the bullet for your management team's poor business acumen - as is the case with all of us who have/had poor management.

My code of conduct is to try and back the concept of gaining the most for my airline's pilots and for the profession itself. Where was your code of conduct when Midwest went out and AirTran'd the industry? Oops...now I sound like you...I know you would have had nothing to do with that business decision of your management. Where was your code of conduct when you did nothing to increase pay and benefits of the professional airline pilot??
