Nwa Amfa Hangs Alone, You Are Next

[castle bravo]

...too many airline managements depend on concessions to cover their financial blunders and that NWA shot down a lot of ticket price increases that could have reduced the amount of the concessions needed.






Not to mention NWA management's masterful strategy at fuel hedging. The $100 ticket vouchers for pax to ride on Champion Air was another real reveune generator. Way to go, NWA management- keep up the good work. And, don't forget to give yourself a well deserved cash bonus while you're at it- you earned it.

...plus how much was spent training replacements? $107 milllion I believe the number is. Pay close attention to what is going on and reread the title of this thread over and over...

Catheter,

You are so right!! If I were in a concentration camp with 99 other people, and the Germans said I could survive as long as I voted to eliminate 75% of the remaining lives, I would say " You guys are so cool, I look forward to a long and happy relationship with you'

You must be a French coward. Sorry I know that's redundant.

I forgot about that. How many times was NWA the one who shot down a fare increase? They have made huge blunders over there and now labor is paying for it.

Pretty sad days.... NWA shouldnt have messed up that CAL buyout a few years back.... too bad...

AMFA's gonna take it on the chops... Hang in there fellas !!

Mgt's "last man standing" strategy was no doubt a "loser move".

They kept teling us that they couldn't raise fares but yet have done it 4 times this year. Too little too late.

They do expect labor to pay for their blunders.

If what you all are saying is true (I'm not disputing that) then the NWA pilots should give themselves a 1.98% raise by dumping ALPA.

The course they "must" take removes the entire reason for having a union. Already you have huge backlogs of grievances (Who initially benefits from a CBA violation? The company of course.). Now, you have the union admitting more concessions are coming--and they can't do a thing to stop it.

Give me a reason for ALPA to be on the property anywhere. TC

I love fellow "de-programmed" former union members... A couple years surviving the corporate side will do that for you..

Check Your Facts

Question for the pilot group with all due respect
You folks have 12% on furlough with recall rights and have taken a pay cut. No pilot at NWA is making less than 120 k. Most are making more.

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING? There are A LOT of pilots at NWA that don't make 120K. Mabe most captains make more but not the FOs. They've already taken a 15% cut and the initial start from the company for round 2 is another 35% and 1800 more furloughs. That's before they rape the work rules.

Jim: Your post is right on the money.

Wouldn't a "lockout" have to occur before scabs could be given permanant positions?

Isn't that effectively what occurred when NWA started sending mechanics home early Friday evening?
