GB, I'm rather interested and not just a little perturbed by your statement that AIPA pressured GD into buying the 738. Where on earth did that one come from?
And most of us DO still believe that the association is 744 pilots for 744 pilots, even despite the recent election results. The change is simply too late, the horse has already bolted.
And just out of interest, where is skimpy planning on parking these new airplanes? Where are these new gates going to be? Because our terminals are chokkas throughout the network already, without another 20 odd aircraft....
