Utter cluelessness Jay. Larry D just likes to post endless news
stories and then mis-interparate thier meaning so he can start
arguments. I am surprised you fell for it. Arent you usualy the one
who posts complaining about the lack of integrity on this list ?
The sad fact of the matter is that (The way it is structured now) the
airline biz in this country will never consistently make money. I dont
know if regulation in some form may be an answer to this or not, but
AIM does not "Ask" for protection. As an organization they have little
to gain from this. They are voted in and voted out just like in a
democracy.
There are definatly pros and cons to industry consolidation, especialy
if you are an airline employee right now. AIM obviously sees a
downside to consolidation as far as its members are concerned. Do you
want to see dedicated career profesionals working at airlines ?

One man's argument is another's discussion:

informal debate.

As for your accusation of my alleged misinterpretation, it's not
possible to have meaningful exploration of a subject without differing
points of view. Surely you aren't suggesting that all participants in
this forum hold the same viewpoint on every subject as you do, are
you?

Further, I'd like to thank you for pointing out my habit of opening
discussion of on-topic issues, thus increasing the newsgroup's
signal-to-noise ratio, unlike those limit their participation to
followup articles.

Thanks for that.

Stop calling me Shirley. AIM is going after job security. Based on the
dismal history of airlines since Deregulation, some form of it may be
necessary. They are actually against consolidation, which
theoretically should help consumers. Rest assured AIM (As are other
unions) is a for profit bussiness and they are doing what they are
payed to do.
