**NWA to decertify the ATA**

[Ben Franklin]

Rumor on the street is that NWA management will seek to decertify the ATA (http://www.airlines.org/) as their representative body after any merger with DAL if any of their management team ends up junior to or less compensated than any DAL manager.

Company cars are also a subject of debate within the inner circle.

The ATA will put out a "message from the chairman" in their next newsletter scolding the NWA managers for wearing their ATA lapel pins upside down while in the executive washrooms and in the vicinity of the watercoolers.

This can all be found on that one website where airline managers fight with each other in public forums... anyone have that website?


Sincerely,

B. Franklin

More rumor on the street is that the same Law firm (advising NWA management) is the one being used by the East coast US Airways Pilots used to create the USAPA drive. Sounds exactly the same ... yellow lanyards in the cockpit ... ATA pins upside down. Same playbook and tactics. God help the NWA middle management if they use the USAPA law firm ... only an idiot can tell another idiot what to do.

Who Cares

Nobody cares about NWA Management except NWA Management.:uzi:

Great, don't ATA pilots have enough things to worry about (SWA codeshare, downgrades, and bankruptcy). What did we ever do to Northwest?

I think he's talking about the Air Transport Association, not the airline ATA.

God help the NWA middle management if they use the USAPA law firm ... only an idiot can tell another idiot what to do.

Idiots like your MEC Chairman and John Prater, who have both used this firm and were happy with the services provided (according to the thank you letters they wrote)?

Oh good, I really thought that NW was trying to decertify our airline, being that we're their major competition and all.
