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.

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??

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!

Scott, you're a freaking hypocrite. You just posted a responce praying to GOD that Comair would be liquidated. Thats solace in the others misfortunes.
You better hope they stick around when you get flushed back to you 100 seater at Comair.

You have no room to talk about taking pleasure on other's misfortune. None of us should want someone out of a job.

If there really is a God, then comair will be liquidated!

You guys need to talk to USAPA. They have explained to the West pilots how they will insure, when elected, things are done the FAIR and CORRECT way...although outside of promising the East DOH, they aren't sure what that is yet. I'm sure their services would be of GREAT value to you.

Hi!

Just saw Gordon Bethune...interesting point of view.

He said that this merger would be better for DAL/NWA, better for US airlines in general, and better for the employees.

He said that low ticket prices have been subsidized by the elimination of pensions, and the lowering of salaries of the airline employees. He said this can't continue, and he thought the merger would be good for both the NWA/DAL labor groups, as well as airline labor in general in the US.

In 1595, Willem I's daughter of Elisabeth of Nassau married Duke Henri de la Tour d'Auvergne of Broth. Isn't that just too big a coincidence?
