.......
DAL MEC IS tighter than a submarine hatch as well.....

More than they have been, and that is something to talk about.

Maybe I missed it:

How long are the fences on the 4 and 8?

What does 'some form of equity' mean? Same % for all?

Is there a catch on the equity so that if one takes it he has to stay flying for x years or can the top guys take the $ and run?

No furlough clause?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Devil is in the details

 

[3ds]

Ah. Right. Merger announcement expected tomorrow....

What exactly do those ratios mean? I'm in the bottom part of the list... just for poops and giggles assuming the what the original poster said is true (likely not, but hey), what does the 1:3 mean for a junior DL guy?

Anybody have any guess as to what will happen with Northwest's 47% ownership of Midwest?

I think it means:

nwa
dal
dal
dal
nwa
dal
dal
dal
nwa

etc.

And then the jr ER guys get displaced or sit rsv for a while.

717's replace the DC-9's, then Joe Kolshak rules the world.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Peanuckle. It will be better for you than a jr NWA guy

 

[ACL65PILOT]

You laugh. They may get relative seniority along career expiations.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Interesting... I was trying to wrap my head around the math and instantly got a headache.

Grog not smart man. Grog just caveman.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Ditto I had to ask an accountant.

 

[nwaredtail]

Just rumors so not taking it for much...

But, for conversational sake, I can't bid your whales or 787s yet you NWA folks CAN bid my 777, count me as a NO.

Are you under the impression you will get a vote. HA.

Your merger committee can decide pre-pid, then your MEC, if they choose. No time for memrat if they want a pre-approved deal.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

that has been discussed....
