The only thing DAL/NWA have in common with LCC/AWA is the word merger.

BTW, please keep a union out of JB, it will make it so much easier to staple or discard you when we buy you for the JFK slots
Why, so your management can add more rj's there?
 
ALPA really helped those TWA and ATA guys during their merger/aquisitions... How many TWA folks are at AA now? How many ATA guys/gals are at SWA? How much love is there at Cactus?

Well, when you end up in arbitration over SLI integration who's gonna represent you? McCaskill Bond provides a process, not an outcome. I would think you guys would want some sort of collective bargaining agent going into that.

Fair and Equitable is an interpretive target. I'll take my ALPA MEC and their collective strength and assets vs. 200) individual contracts in an SLI arbitration. Good luck if you ever go there.
 
How is it that Delta didn't have to give any gates up in Atl? Shows you the dirty BS politics Delta is involved in. Should have had to give up at least 3 gates in Atl. Unless im wrong I don't think they gave any up.
 
That does not mean they will not swap gates on D for gets on F when it opens.
Like the three NWA gates for international gates and there ya go, three gates for SWA!

Awww, come on, Gen Lee would make the perfect negotiator.... He would give up scope, pay, retirement, and pretty much anything else you ask for if he could just get one front-page article in the AJC telling everyone how freaking great he is.

I think I liked it better when you posted under Tanker Clown...Less,when you change your name that makes me add another to my ignore list.

Oh, how is it polishing that General's knob, I mean shoes these days or have you moved on to more important things like pumping the neighbor's dog? Fact is you will hate on every airline since you will never be a part of one...sad really.

And now on to the control panel to add you to my ignore list, again.
 
Maybe a little off topic but does anyone know how long the "differences training" for DAL Flight Attendants is learning the new NWA planes?
 
Xfr8dog:

Assume U did not get furloughed? How is the airline biz going?

I'm schd to have my base moved to DBX in a couple of weeks.

NBO
 
Yep-screw everyone. Every employee, investor, and contractor you can find. Pissing people off is sure to give you the most possible "synergy."

-Just wait, Gen-it is coming. First SWA will roll on in, then you will start seeing more and more ALGT planes full of all the passengers your gifted leaders have pissed off... You had better pray every night to whatever you worship that ALGT doesn't get a foothold in your backyard-you will definitely not want to "compete" with any airline so clearly capable of kicking every last ounce of living dog snot out of you.

-7.5 CASM, chief.....You don't want that-anywhere, anyhow.

Delta is cutting RJ's and will grow mainline. Less low paying jobs, more better paying jobs.
How is that screwing?
Ask anyone - more better paying jobs is a plus for any company.
 
Its not screwing, its good news! ( if it transpires )

Less regional flying and more mainline flying is a good thing...

Anyone who takes a job at a regional should know: its basicly contract work, someone else owns the flying ( its not theirs to own in the first place) and can change the deal as they see fit when $$ is involved.... regionals grow and shrink, no one is entitled to "certain flying" at the regionals... its all owned by mainline anyway.

So knowing this, it should not be a suprise when cuts are made or flying is shifted around at regionals...its part of the deal. Its part of life in this industry, be prepared and adapt as needed.
 
We need to get this merger done so we can go acquire another airline or two ;)

Oh Yeah!


Synergies aplenty!!!


Let's see if your trainwreck can ever turn a profit before you screw up even more of our aviation infrastructure by infecting it with NWA mgmt.

That's the voice of a scared little boy!
I understand your fear. With the DCI cuts coming, you better pray to whoever it is you call God and hope that Wendy's will give you overtime, or your knee pads will need refurbishing with all the $5 favors you'll have to hand out in the men's bathroom!

A "scared little boy" who can read a balance sheet and see how your "synergies" are not materializing......

Maybe you should go back and read my earlier posts where I discussed what B.S. "synergies" are and why they don't work. Rather than coming up with more 3rd-grade-level insults, try and read some adult material and show me where I am wrong. Learn to read some financial data-it is not that hard.

How did "synergies" work out for United? What about US Airways? Show me where my theory failed in either (or both) of those cases. "Synergy" is just something that sounds good to investors who have no idea what they are buying (I do have a pretty good idea what they bought-the stock has gone nowhere since the merger-or even since the IPO.)

You are the perfect group for this kind of work... You will believe absolutely anything from whomever is in charge at the time.

(Sometimes you just have to find out the hard way... If you were smart, you would be starting some shareholder activism to drive NWA mgmt the hell out of the company before contract negotiations start up... You will just have to become comfortable with the fact that you are dumber than hell.)

-You will get to see what they are made of then....

Wow kid. All this intelligence, and the best you could do was an rj f/o at ASA? Somewhere in America, corporations are screaming for a kid like you to run their company. I bet AIG could use a guy like you. Think of all the $5 BJ's you could give to help their balance sheet!
Tanker clown, you're drivel is as boring under this screen name as your other. I'm sure break time is over at Wendy's. Get back to work!

Yep-

We will see what kind of song you are singing when RA puts the screws to you in negotiations (if you miraculously manage to avoid a second BK before then.)

-If you knew anything about finance, you probably could recognize the fact that stringing together hundred-million-dollar losses quarter after quarter for a decade or so is not a good thing.

-Honestly, I have no idea how you manage to find your way to the airport Gen. You are painfully retarded.

-Good luck-you'll need it.
