AA, UA, UsAir, etc, they fail, but unlike us that would prob disappeared, they just file a Chapter, Restructure and Merge and get back in circulation like a bad med. the one thing about free market that we all hate, at least myself.

That is not at all the 'free market'. If it was, they'd all be long gone and we, as Americans, would all be better off.

Yep, those same legacies are now also too big to strike. JMO, but I feel as though it's extremely unlikely any POTUS would allow a strike to come to fruition for them.

We, however, wouldn't create a blip in the grand scheme of things if our upcoming negotiations start to stagnate. So we have a little more flexibility if/ when it comes to that.

Exactly. And new hires need to realize this.

OK, you are correct, let me say then, i disagree with the way they run the business to the ground fully knowing that they have the chutes for the few and that Chapter for the club, to reopen the door with new paint jobs and new uniforms.

Three new management pilots announced today: one of our own to LAS CP, and two outsiders directly into management pilot positions at HDQ. Anyone have the scoop on the two going to HDQ?

Looks like ORD-ATL, ORD-MSY, DTW-ATL, and DTW-MSY being added in November. I'm guessing we found some gate space in ORD.
Shifting earlier now.
