NWA answer to pending strike of FA's

[ils2minimums]

... becuase what you see here today is not what this profession is going to look like very soon. We are actively creating global airlines to compete in and on the global scale. in ten years the sky team alliance will be known as sky team airlines. The LCC's will either be mergered into these global companies, be bought out, or they could cease operations, I don't know what they (who is they?) are going to do with them. However, your package is the global economy payscale, trust me, you are still making golden years salaries compared to what is going to be the average salary in the future.

I think your crystal ball needs some polishing... How, exactly, do you know what's going to happen "very soon" or in "ten years"? And how do you know what salaries are going to be like in the "future"? You state these things as facts, when in reality, they are mere conjecture. You say "trust me", like you have some inside information we're not privy to. I call BS on your gloom and doom theories.

No matter what "global companies" exist, our country has 300 million people in it. And as long as people still want to travel from Omaha to El Paso, or Los Angeles to New York, we are going to need domestic airlines. And as long as people want to pay less for their tickets, there will be someone willing to undercut the other guy to make a buck... (LCC's)

I have never seen a pilot make so many excuses, rationalize, and not to mention pander their thoughts on why we should be paid less money.

May I ask exactly who you work for, and what your job title is?

AAflyer;

My guess is that he is part of the "koolaide" crowd probably a non-commuting
msp instructor (for now).

His views are typical of the "vote yes or die" gang, which sadly is the majority
at NWA now. They need to rationalize that they voted in such a crappy
contract and now we are stuck with it for 6 years.

Nwalpa was out gunned by the company (again) and we were led to believe
that yes votes were the only way to save pensions.

We have a overconfident, bloated mgt team at nwa, these guys think that
by cheerleading for them they will be part of the cash grab that is
coming.

Just be glad you don't have to listen tho their BS at work!!!!
(surprizingly no-one admits they voted yes!!)

Ummm....

Not to get this thread back on topic or anything, but...

Does anyone know what the status of the F/A ruling is? He's been putting it off for almost a week now.

Hi DB,

I don't think so. From the lack of technical accuracy on several subjects past, I would say a NATCO ATI or some other non-pilot type.
