Staple staple.........

Just kidding - mergers never are a good thing but the notion of not commuting is intriguing. Wait and see.

DTW base still open for FA's. This is obviously a shot across the bow for the pilot contract. Also, if they closed the FA base in DTW they would have about 500 FA's quit overnight. Most FA's would not commute for this job or move for it. A few would stay and do whatever, but the majority would definately be finished with it. I think the company knows that.

My theory is that the company wants to make this a SAT base. If the pilots weaken, which they probably will, and allow a SAT base here, THEN I can see the company come to the FA's and force them into a DTW base closure and make only a huge SAT base in DTW. How great for the company! They don't have to follow the contract and they get a base here.

I can see Carlson right now rubbing his hands together....my plan is working perfectly.

I would also like to thank our MEC for allowing the company to have the first satelite base (er backroom deal) to open ACY for a small number of people, and start a great precedent during contract negotiations.
I can not wait to see the uncovered trips on Oct 1.
Best regards JC

Rarely does NWA management ask for something that they do not plan on using to their full advantage...
