Just off the DAL stock blog, take it for what its worth.
"Just steped out of a meeting with R.A.
F/A . Mechanics . ACS . any non pilot job that has over 29.5 years Seniority and is at least 52 years old. Has an opportunity for a 5 or 5 plan plus flt benifits and $200 a month medical cost if you retire between April 1st and June 1st of 2008. Good luck to everyone hope you make the window. "
Looks like some cuts are on the way...[/quot
Just curious, what is a 5 or 5 plan?
Wonder what Occam has to say. He has been quiet over the weekend.
I know that there has been some stuff going on, but it truly sounds dead, unless as you say NWA stops smoking the crack.
Pilots weren't able to hold up CH11, and we certainly won't be able to hold up a 20 Billion $ Wall street deal.
My Delta buddies are bending over backwards to make this happen.
You want to take all their widebodies and all the money.
Delta is fessing up. NWA can't be in any better shape.
NWA negotiators, time to give up your crack pipes.
It is distressing watching both pilot groups attack each other. This is exactly what management wants. I hope that both MEC's are planning for a merger without their support, because economic reality, and the shareholders want it.
I don't think either carrier is in a superior position. In fact with both stock prices at all time lows, you both are ripe takeover targets. Both carriers are worth less than $3 Billion and both have about that much cash on hand. Not to mention other less liquid assets in the neighborhood of $8-10 billion. Some entity could gain control of either company for $1.5 -$2.0 billion and make a ton of money just selling off the pieces. If any of you talk to United pilots, there are substantial rumors of Tilton toying with the idea of doing exactly this to United.
If you don't think that is a possibility you haven't been paying attention to Wall Street and Bear Stearns. The giant banking instituitons and hedge funds need cash right NOW and DAL & NWA have giant targets pasted on their asses.
