NWA and DAL walk away from merger deal

I guess you can use all of that "extra cash" to buy gas for your DC9s and 742s, and not get it for yourselves. Oh well.... That is pure "genious."

Remember, your CEO, LOVED the $ numbers of the DC-9. Change the record. BTW, you never gave me your employee number so I could check your movement on the DAL seniority list.

30% raise still gives us a 20% paycut from old rates. Would probably give it back and more when Anderson cries BK again. 14% DC, I get 18% NOW. RJ'S capped? again, for now. Delta guys lead in the industry in giving away scope. 75% in equity? What kind? Stock? Options? Ask the UAL guys how that worked out.

Under DAL's propasals, a 2003 hire, would be next to a 1989 hire at NWA, but thats fair because we have "old" dc-9's?

Another genious...

Who's the real genius numbnuts?
Delta didn't hire in 2003!
There was a hiring gap, much like the one in your hollow head, between 2001-2007!
Again, don't let facts get in the way!

Hey Einstein.....Do you realize that over the next 15 years Delta will actually have more retirements than NWA?
Probably not, but don't let facts get in the way!

Based on the way some of you clowns appear, you don't need to worry much about halloween!

Hey, there is nothing like a perfect record.

26 Seniority list arbitrations with never an agreement.

Did your old CEO love the $ on the DC9s before or after high gas? When was he at your airline again? How much was gas back then? Have you asked him the same question now? From what I had heard from our own honchos down here, the -9s were GONE. (MD90s to replace them infact). You know, the MD90s that are more fuel efficient, have an FMS so you don't bother ATC, and the ones that can carrier more pax to try to pay for the fuel?

And my seniority would have been above yours I bet, and if this thing doesn't go through I bet I will be a Captain before you. My 9 month seat hold on the 7ER is almost up.....(we are still expanding BTW, with more planes and new routes---means upgrades for us)

No pilot were hired at DAL from mid 01 until 07... Interesting spin...

Sorry 2000 hire[/quote]

So you are being told that a 2000 hire would be slotted in with a 1989 hire. Do I have that correct?

Who is your source?

 

[Poahi]

Maybe Boyd was right? Hmmm.... I just hate saying that.

General, just to tag on, it's not just the price of gas, it's the cycles. Many of the DC-9s are running out of cycles on the airframes. Occam posted on it a while back I believe.

Yup, most of them will time out by 2025.
