If you were a mid 20 year old hire at JB and they merged with AMR you'd have a great career IMHO, hence, Charlie Sheen winner.
Of course the same could be said about UsAirways in the mid-late 80s.

The AE will more than likely come out before the slot swap announcement or at least before the company has time to adjust. The 2012 flight plan is supposed to be finalized this week and then I would guess a short time after that we will see an AE. Still a chance to see ATL 320 & 330 base on this next AE.

If we had union leadership that was really opposed to this kind of thing, you'd also have billboards pointing out that they aren't Delta airplanes or Delta crews.

I wonder if in some alternate universe, ALPA is fighting the good fight.

Isn't something like 60% of the LGA flying going to RJs?
Not sure if any of that is concrete yet, but that's what i've been hearing.

^^^^ This!

Even IAM still has a billboard on Camp Creek leading into the airport. Apparently public statements of displeasure and/or resistance aren't part of the "constructive engagement"'strategy.

We can do better. We need to do better.
