Could've picked a better day.

What! It couldn't be more appropriate. That Iceberg is various unhappy pilot groups holding things up(does the AW/Usair fiasco strike a note) Not to mention Captain Nemo(REP. J. Oberstar) lurking around looking for the slightest reason to torpedo things.

There is a long way to go on this on and if,i say again, if this happens it won't be without turmoil from every direction!

Let the blood letting begin! it's gonna be fun to watch from here!

Why take pleasure in other's misery?

 

[spinproof]

Well pleasure takes many forms. I would never wish missery on anyone for any reason except maybe idiots wanting to blow us up.

That being said somehow I don't feel sorry for either party in general. Just the ones ALPA will sacrifice for the good of the cause.

But I digress, You may couch this as you will but yes this is gonna be fun to watch. So save me the pity party. They will both eventually come out of this just fine!

I have not flown on NAW in over 10 years, so I cannot comment on their service. I fly Delta 4 or 5 times a year, my wife flys them a few times a month. All I can say is that based on past mergers and current levels of service at DAL this will result in the worst airline in the world.

You take an airline with bad customer service and an anti-union culture among key employees (except pilots), merge it with an airline that has a highly unionized work force and low moral. What a great idea! I feel sorry for all of the employees, but I feel much worse for the flying public.

Well, at least management will make out like bandits.

 

[On Your Six]

It's also the anniversary of Lincoln's death. I wonder what that means....

 

[IXLR8]

Well, at least management will make out like bandits.

That is what's most important these days, to make sure the CEO's get their fair share...Corporate America at its best....not gonna be fun for the rest of us though.....

 

[BLUE BAYOU]

Its also tax day!

Then why did you write this, and follow it with a smiley face??

Let the blood letting begin! it's gonna be fun to watch from here!

I'm so glad that you can find solace in other's misfortunes, especially the junior ones.
Hey, maybe you can run down to the unemployment line and laugh at them if furloughs do result!
