looks like NWA is hiring Assistant Flight Dispatcher any thoughts out there to how high the risk is

I saw that posting too....very tempting, but I think the risk might be too great until the merger thing gets figured out.

true however once the merger goes through it may be to late. there may be some down sizing.

 

[bgaviator]

true, there may be....but with as big of a move to where Northwest is would be for me, it is too risky I think to get hired on, only to find out that Northwest and Delta merge, and they streamline routes and then you're out of a job since you're at the bottom of seniority.

that is a very good point... I wander if they will get anyone right now with the talks going on between the two airlines... by the way does anyone know the NWA payscale ?

See the third page of

http://dsnow.homeip.net/Dispatch_Pay_Scales_Current.pdf

Both current DAL and NWA scales are on there; and NWA would have to come up A LOT to equal the DAL scale - plus there are two differing unions at NWA/DAL - TWU vs PAFCA

I see the pay scale.. WOW your right NWA dispatchers would be getting a nice pay raise. as far as the two different unions go.. I think the only fare thing would be for both sides to vote on who would represent. However I thought that Delta was the airline on top which I thought meant there union would stay period.
