NWA LOA Issue?

[Wildmanny]

Maybe someone with NWA knowledge can comment? I'll try again.



RedTailers:

Good for you! I'm always happy to see you stick it to those incredible shysters who are leading you. Get whatever you can and then go for more! Hammer them!!!


Now, my question would be this: In light of the agreement to bid a lower amount of hours, isn't this a pay cut and a play into their hands? Not to be a downer, but having worked there, I know that the schedules will now be built (assuming proper staffing levels are achieved) so as to fly in the 80ish hour range. What guarantees did you get to help offset the extra 10+ hours everyone is flying now? Isn't the company winning here? I'm afraid that once they get some more pilots in there, there will never be a need to build anyone's schedule to anything beyond the min. In effect, a 10 hour shave. Of course all of the furloughees will be back, so there won't be any need for high time flying and that doesn't effect staffing anyway, so there you go! Oops, did I just say that out loud? Just wondering...


WM


P.S.--If I could figure out how to make it, I'd post "Steenland" with a red line through it. A- -hole!

who's running that MEC?

geez, I think Jetblue gets time and a half on anything over 70. You had them by the balls and gave it away again. NWA 250 makes million or so for the quarter with all the xclns and thats all you want ?
Can't believe anyone would want to work there.
