It comes down to route overlap and market control. We did our divesting mostly premerger. RA lined up his ducks.
I agree that AA and USAir will go through once they have bowed to the powers that be.
As far as Ak or Hi, look at the route overlap to foresee any big issues.
Btw, does anyone have a clear picture on what the sticking point is on the VA Dal production balance issue. I want to email my reps, but don't entirely understand that one. Is this just a case of management playing scope hardball?

I believe negotiators were supposed to have met with management sometime over the summer. Temporarily approval for noncompliance is until September, so I'm curious if the temporary approval period will just expire without any type of contractual improvements for the pilot group. I don't really see any incentive to play ball with our negotiators at this point if all the company really needed was to get through the summer.
I'm less concerned with any type of contractual gain as I am concerned with our union's inability to enforce certain provisions of our section 1. Temporary approval expires September 30 th, so time will tell I guess.

On that point, has anyone heard anything regarding our negotiator's progress with the company over the Pacific Narita/Haneda non-compliance issue?

Management needs contract scope relief. DALPA is "constructively engaged".
You know those rumors about new aircraft orders?
I'll bet I know when the scope concessions will be announced.
Standby for yet another "Negotiator's Notepad" describing our latest win-win.

Frankly, it's sad to read a pilot writing something like that. Let me suggest an three hour option that will allow you to arrive in style and relaxed...
Figure your making at least a buck and a quarter from Delta. Don't know if they are paying you for mileage, but 26 hours of windshield time between Delta trips must just suck for you and your family.
Speaking of family, trips to the beach are "currency." Besides, you need the tax write off.
Mine's an A36 now, but the F33 or 33-35 is a better machine unless you need the extra capability. I had a 33-35 with a fresh IO-550 by D'Shannon and all the go fast goodies that I sold when Delta hired me ... wish very badly I still had it. Best flying airplane ever built IMHO (and that includes the 757, heresey I know)

So I just went to my favorite porn site... Controller.com... and found this beauty:
1985 BEECHCRAFT F33A BONANZA Piston Single Aircraft For Sale At Controller.com
it's got TKS for those just in case moments Rocky goes into icing conditions.
Since you actually lived this stuff Bar let's figure up his expenses and deductions for a 750 mile trip done once a month? Or is it twice Rocky?
$@!#_@%!@$. I'm being summoned.

Anyone watch the fox news segment that just ended? About 1015am. Fair and balanced my ass! Total bash fest on unions. Oh, we ruined the airlines, not **** poor management. That is all.

No. I don't really like to watch Fox News because as you said, they aren't fair and balanced.
