That's great, but it doesn't mean anything. The NC gets its direction from the MEC. The MEC is currently all but totally silent on Section 1.

The MEC is the issue, not the NC.

That would slowly draw down the outstanding ASA agreements, giving realistic and reasonable timelines for the sub-contractors to find alternate business opportunities and allow DAL to spool up the recaptured flying on the mainline side.
Exactly. Is this soooo much to ask for that it has paralyzed the vocal chords of our LEC reps?

You know Bar, when you post stuff like this, it makes you sound very simplistic, narrow focused...and absolutely correct.

The sad thing is that until you recognize a flaw, it's pretty darn hard to fix it...
Our biggest problem right here. Well stated.

Haven't gotten there today. I will take a gander. Been perusing the Skyteam web site.

Just because the NC gets it direction from the MEC, doesn't mean they will do what the MEC says.

Oops! "RTFS", I guess. My bad.
