Anyone who thinks this merger and seniority integration is going to go through with 'smooth sailing' needs to share that high quality weed they've been smokin.
 
Polls are misleading

BTW, in the last few days of flying I have spoken with a lot of pilots (in the jetways and cockpit) and none of them voted YES..... (I still think it will pass though)

General,

As you undoubtedly know, this apparent contradiction would be entirely consistent with past MEMRATs. How TAs pass when all the scuttlebutt says they will fail is a mystery, but they do. :confused:

Maybe, but maybe not. However, I'd rather be in my situation than yours!

Like you even said in a prior post..."expect the worst but hope for the best." We agree on that much.

True, your worse case scenario will be a Compass left seat in the E175.

Mine could be end up on the street.

Yeah, I guess I'd rather be you. I would love a chance to displace a current Compass pilot, and put him on the street, where he can fend for himself and his wife/kids.

NO thanks! I'd rather be in my position. If a furlough comes, I'll take it. I would hate to go into a left seat of an airplane, knowing full well my action is about to furlough a guy who is already poor, and trying to support his wife and kids.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Ah yes, trying to play the guilt trip card. Have you been furloughed? I have! I don't wish a furlough on ANYONE, not even you. But rest assured, I highly doubt I'll get furloughed, but if I do, Compass pilots knew the risk when they were hired. Nice try F/O, but as usual you showed your ignorance again.

Is that all you got? What about my military career? What about my 135 career? What about my ability to survive a furlough?

You think you know it all, well, you don't know sh!t. You're just a dumb rj F/O that is mouthing off because you see yourself stuck at the regionals for a LONG time. Keep mouthing off, I enjoy reading your stupidity.

Does that make him less credible because he is new? At least he works for a company thats actually in this discussion unlike yourself. Why the sudden desire to swarm the DAL/NWA threads posting nothing more than flames? :confused: Doesn't Pinchanickle have enough to worry about? Why stress yourself over something you aren't involved with?

I don't mind being at a regional. I live in base, and chose my regional based on that. I'm quite happy where I am, and don't see myself wanting to go anywhere else for a long time (by personal choice).


And there you go again, talking crap about regional FOs, just when YOU were one yourself, and then became Captain.

Now that a major airline hired you, "you're too good" for the regionals, and now talk crap about them. Don't forget where you came from. You were me just 12 months ago... a regional CRJ pilot.

You are truly naiive if you think the NWA merger affects ONLY Delta and NWA. It has industry wide repercussions for everyone.

But then again, you were just a former CRJ pilot who has been at a major carrier for less than 12 months.

Hmmm...let me think? Reduced competition, better pricing power, mega airline which can compete with other mega -carriers like AF-KLM...sounds like really 'bad' repercussions to everyone...

You speak before the merger has been fully completed. Wait it out and see how big the integration costs will be (some estimates put it at $1 billion dollars). Lets see what the SLI looks like. And lets actually see the end final product. Then we'll conclude just how good/bad it is. From the looks of it so far, the repercussions will not be good for the industry.

And btw, reduced competition.... aka reduced planes and reduced jobs.

From the looks of what? Dude...you sure seem to have a hair in the a$$ about this merger!

We are just trying to be as happy and as unified as possible. No point in fighting-the merger will go through. A strong unified 12,000 strong pilot group can do a lot of good in this industry...
