Hi FTB,
Dear Lord, I sincerely hope you are WAAAAY off base. At the MEM road-show last week, T.O. (or one of the other guys) indicated that it was something in the 6K range of guys who'd responded to date. If that's the best we get in the way of survey returns, man, are we ever going to get @#!$%-slapped on C2012. You'll have a hard time ever finding a guy who would admit to NOT filling out the survey. If 7K pilots is all we get interested in the process, I don't even want to contemplate what our next contract will look like.

But that's my pessimistic bet.

If AK was gobbled up by someone else, or C2012 ended the code share abuse and AK took their toys and went home (highly unlikely) we would have to overfly the key portions of their network with at least partial frequency. No more mythical excuses that no one except AK (and SWA and VX and SKYW for several different airlines) can dare fly up and down the legendary, impossible to compete in, zero yield west coast.
In any case, the number of pilots there is so few and what they would bring to our network so disproportionately greater, the SLI would be pretty painless and quick. Probably very close to a ratio and only a few fences here and there. I just hope it happens before they buff their list 20-30% by running just a few classes real quick.

Spoke with an m88 capt & a 320 capt in atl yesterday...neither had filled out the survey. M88 guy said he forgot?! 320 guy said he had no intention of doing it?! I said guys, if it's too much work, at least do the check boxes...takes 20 mins. I'm not encouraged.
