Why not? We are going to allow U and UA to codeshare under bk protection with government loans. Why shouldn't the playing field be leveled out?----------------

I don't think this will fly. You can't have the 3rd, 4th and 5th carriers all selling tickets and exchaning information with each other. This would put AA and SW at too much of a disadvantage.

A typical Delta employee response. Give them what they want, and be happy they didnt ask for more. A little FYI theres a big difference between the happenings of U and UAL and that of whats going on at DAL.As for the pilots, they should look around at some of our other competitors who have asked for deep wage concessions. DL/NW/CO are only asking to codeshare. In light of the current industry troubles, pilots should be thankful that management isn't asking for more.

Easy there Mikey. I think your biased opinion about DL employess is just a little broad and ill-defined. Most of the pilot group at DL is very clued in to Leo's union busting tactics. This deal is dead in the water without ALPA approval and is not subject to FM.----------------

Luv;
ALPA will end up trading their approval for codeshare for some sort of staged recall and a J4J deal involving new airplanes of 90-100 seats. They have to, their position is too weak relative to the company. We will soon know.

Well, the DL pilots could be hard-*sses and refuse to negotiate. I don't think their position is that weak.
However, if DL offers them a recall plan along with a nice order of 100 seaters in exchange for a domestic codeshare alliance, it would seem like a reasonably fair. Compared to what the U/UA pilots are facing, its not that big of a sacrifice.

(it will mean giving the shaft to the DCI guys) they will let the company go ahead with the Alliance codeshare deal.
----------------
I wouldn't call a 24% increase in growth last year, getting the shaft. I call getting furloughed while DCI carriers continue to enjoy unprecedented growth, getting the shaft. Which would you prefer?
As far as the codeshare, nobody knows exactly what managment has to offer in order to get DALPA's approval. Everything mentioned has been sheer speculation. There have been rumors of 100 seat aircraft but nothing confirmed. Management has been tight lipped on any information. That will have to change before any codeshare is approved.

SW at a disadvantage? SW just cut walk-up fares 25%. That puts the inefficient carriers at a disadvantage.
