I guess that's why they are upgrading the engines on them--to park them.
Or sell them. Then again, maybe our EVP of Ops and Pres of Tech Ops were mistaken.

No, that is from a decade ago.Is that the line your hearing now Fins? It doesn't surprise me, but are they really saying that in public?
.. This fact is alluded to strongly in a Q&A with EVP Ops and Pres of tech Ops. ..
I hear you and agree. Unfortunately, it is as bad as it looks....
And the 787's, which were the saving grace for NWA pilot jobs (they were supposed to start flying them this month!), won't be here for at least 2 more years!
Check out Day 2 of the testimony. It's unbelievable how much their DC-9 time has already dropped. The witness goes through about 2 dozen different routes to illustrate how the RJ's have taken over.
To be fair, that same thing has happened at DAL and other carriers over the years....but not at such a fast rate. And for the NWA pilots, the timing couldn't be worse!
Both fleets at DAL (narrow and wide body) are expanding right now....that is a fact.
NWA's narrow body fleet is shrinking fast....that is a fact.
NWA's 747-200's are at best shrinking....worst case scenario, going away. That isn't necessarily fact, but it sure looks that way.
Whichever way this thing goes, we'll know something soon. I'm just glad I don't have to argue their case in all of this.
And I wish I had a copy of that cool video they showed with the teary eyed NW pilot talking about his love of the whale.
Sadly (for them), I think that video is all they got...

Only if their lawsuit say so!Yes, but somehow RJ pilots are not "qualified" for a staple. Go figure
Scope is a dope
Turtle21 (disgruntled USAirways East pilot):
I gotta ask what's your point on this thread. Everybody knows you hate ALPA Merger Policy because you didn't get the integration you wanted. But what use is it repeating how much you hate when they've already made their decisions?
With full knowledge of what came to pass with USA/AWA the DAL and NW pilots agreed to settle their seniority through a binding arbitration panel. This is their way of telling you and all USAirways pilots that they're still interested in fairness rather than the tryanny of the majority. You just can't seem to hear it.
