PCL128:
Comair now has its own scope and its own negotiations that bind Delta. With a seat at the table a key component of the DFR claim no longer exists. Also the DAL MEC could carve out a special deal for CMR, it would be ugly politically - but as a wholly owned Delta probably has an interest in not harming their asset.
Capt. Pennecamp:
I have no idea if Moak would bend any further on scope. It only seems like a front burner issue for FO's and very junior MD88 Captains. Everyone else is looking at those 777's that are coming.
Moak would also go along with the right merger. He is making it clear that the Delta pilots will be effective in stopping the wrong merger and is providing good information to counter the effluvia being promoted by the hedge funds with their quick buck mentalities.
The Delta pilots effectively stopped the US Air deal and got more money out of their claim as a result of some skillful manuevering in turbulent financial waters. This money also helped the Comair pilots with their claim. So, given his track record, I don't know if I'd sell him short (no pun intended).
