NWA family new hires will be all the talk here at flight info in about a year from now.
OK, so where are the airplanes that will be the DC-9 replacements at Mainline? If these morons order EMB-190's and put them at mainline after just ordering 175's for Compass it will be the dumbest move ever. The planes are one type and have identical training and maintenance requirements; to split the fleet between divisions wastes potential savings from economies of scale and duplicates all kinds of functions unnecessarily. Who comes up with these stupid business plans? Use some common sense for once: forget compass, they can't even manage the carrier they already have so they don't need another one. Make the company simpler not more complex. Get the EMB's but make them all 190's and put them at mainline to replace the DC-9's. Let the subcontractors finance their own Canadairs if they want the flying. This is all crazy.
I spoke to one NWA pilot and he believed that the EMBs were really replacements for the 757s. NWA's plan was to get rid of most 757s and sell them to Fed Ex. The few 757s left at NWA would be modified and flown back and forth to Europe. The CRJs are really the replacements for the DC9s.
Of course then this pilot told me that he thought man never landed on the moon and that was something concocted by NASA.
