NWA wants DOH

[Speedbird34]

Speed,

Nobody has said it any better, CHEERS!!

Thanks Jetflier! You guys are an outstanding group and to great layovers in Narita and Sal island:beer:

After the SLI is decided if I get sent to compass I would have a blast with the guys!!

The world has many people who do not get clean water to drink. We still have a great living no matter the end result on November 20th.

22nd.... Not the 20th.

Did anyone read the transcripts from the last two days in DC regarding the SLI? Interesting our DAL lawyer put that NWA 747 Captain on the spot asking him if during any other merger or takeover attempt at NWA, which method would they have used (at Republic, and also talks with CAL), and he stated via a RATIO. So, whenever NWA was the bigger airline, they wanted a ratio, and now that they are the smaller one, they want DOH. Hmmmmmmmm. Interesting.


Bye Bye--General Lee

Those other airlines did not have super-cadja-fradgilistic uber-premium wide-body flying.

CAL didn't? I think they did at the time, using Dc10s and 747s etc back then. They had a contingecy plan for a possible merger with them, and it was via Ratios. Of course, no other airline has "Super Premium widebody service"(744s) and "Super Premium Narrowbody service" (DC9s) as they stated in the hearings....

Hey someone needs to play the used car salesmen.

Well, to be precise, the A320/319 has the widest cabin of any narrowbody, so it should be designated as a super-ultra premium-narrowbody and handled accordingly in the SLI.

And what is the 88? A super duper long narrow body tube steak premium airplane?

No.......It's a DC-9!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Nothing to resist - it IS a DC9-88.

, NWA pilots should be given a credit for our up coming retirements or the Delta pilots should not be given much credit for their current positions which is a reflection of their retirements. .

You and every NWA pilot are a reflection of past NWA retirements, should we take that into consideration also?

 

[recallsomeday]

Also, in your above quote, you said NWA will have block holders JUNIOR to some DL reserves. Well, isn't that a good thing pay wise? You guys seem upset about the drop in hours for reserve guarantee---from 75 hours to 70 hours at Delta. Well, sounds like some junior NWA people won't have to take that "pay cut" down to 70 hours a month, and instead ENJOY the pay raise per hour while flying more than 70 hours.

I'll trade 10 bucks an hour for 900 seniority numbers.... any takers?

I don't see management ever coming to the group asking for concessions in seniority. har har har

The "raise" doesn't mean s#!t to me if I'm hangin out on the bottom like a new hire after 8 years on the property. (Oh .. I'm sorry .. only 3.5 years on the property)

Seniority is for sale is not a valid argument either.

So, were you furloughed for awhile and now are back? If you were, you now get to benefit even more from our contract. You will get "credit" for your years on furlough, and should get paid 8th year pay instead of 4th year pay (3.5 rounded up). Isn't that great? You are welcome. See, you will make more thanks to us. That should be a lot more than an extra 10 bucks an hour.....from 4th year to 8th year pay, plus the 15-20% raise in rates.

Bye Bye--General Lee

I love when one side takes credit for the raises that everyone received, as if they are the reason and not the merger itself. We all got raises, and it was due to the merger. As a reminder, the raises are being paid for out of both piggy banks.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Correct, and I have not see our team use that tacit. The ones that are being used hold a lot more water.
