We need guys like ACL, Super, and Bucking Bar on the MEC. I would feel good about that.

You want guys that are going to fix the problems, IMHO you need guys that are going to listen to you, listen to multiple options and make an informed decision. There is one way to fix a lot of our ills and that is with UNITY. With unity comes the fact that to solve this the group needs to better educate itself, and come up with a idea (s) that work for all of us. Single source ideas often never pass the error check.

As for CPS. There may be some real genius in keeping them off the property. I hate to say it, but I see it. It has to do with all of the other DCI carriers needed to be in the bottom two of cost. Well, CPS is the cheapest, so it only leave one other that is in compliance at the five year mark.
So you and DALPA think it is good to keep DCI pilot costs low? You actually condone using whipsaw to keep the pilot costs down? Interesting....

Nice Job TWISTING his words. No suprise coming from you. Why don't you highlight where he said he OR DALPA supports it.

Oh wait, you can't.

Joe, do not bait me or put words in my mouth. What I posted was a layman's thoughts on why there is not a bigger push to get them on board. IE there may just possibly be some perceived benefit to them coming on later next year. Like I qualified, just me connecting dots. Not my opinion, Sir.

I give them 5 to 1 odds. If they use it out of a current hub they will need a new jet. I do not think the 330 will make NRT from CLT.

Previously they have been against it. Ask your CPO, but I bet that you would get the same answer.
