I am not the one that reported parking the DC 9's but I am curious why your MEC keeps coming back to the table with no change in position.
I already gave my opinion on that.
Don't you think that our position would be a little softer if we had not conferred with our management?
Was that the discussion before your mgmt team announced parking mainline aircraft. Seemed pretty odd that right after Moak gave us the finger, DAL announced parking those planes and cutting jobs.
I do not know for sure, but I think that there have been some very frank discussions down here in ATL over all of this.
My take on this is: The NWA MEC thinks we have a gun to our head as we think you have a gun to your head. I am sure the truth is somewhere in the middle, but we are not the ones begging to come back to the table. Are we
? I agree there is a disconnect. In reality and mgmt will probably announce it anyway, forcing us into making a decision. They knew we wouldnt just go into a room, hug and make a joint decision. Like Occam says until there is a deadline nothing will be decided [/quote]
Another point is some discussions have already taken place with CAL and NWA and since NWA holds the Golden share with CAL, NWA probably would attempt a go with CAL if DAL doesnt work. Putting NWA/CAL in a good position. Then DAL will probably try with UAL, Good luck with that. Between the seniority talks and mega debt that would be incurred you guys know you have a much better chance making it and coming ahead with NWA than any other carrier. Then there is AA, you could try that
In all seriousness good luck i hope it works out for us all.:beer:
