The questions have been asked. Why do you reckon a lot of the COM got thrown out? Many of us WERE dirty about letting jetconnect start and expressed that to the COM at the time. Averting the issue 12-18 months ago? We were well cut out of any deal by then! We had more than 1/3 of the pilot group turn up to a meeting (not bad when at least 1/2 the pilot group was away on service at the time) to express our displeasure about the way that J* was progressing without a coordinated approach. That show got us nowhere.

As an aside though, if we want to be working together, have you joined AIPA Douglas? How many of your compatriots have? You guys talk the talk, I hope you back it up in your walk.
