NWA wants DOH

[MJ42]

Keep playing that tune! You may even begin to believe it. I am sure the arbitrators would bring you back to reality next month.

Proves my point!!!

All I hear from you is "me, me, me, me, me and more ME!!! It's all about ME!" Well, let me inform you, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!!!

As long as I can maintain my lifestyle and career expectations with limits I am happy.
What I would hate to see is Northwest guys swooping in and taking positions from us and pushing us into reserve lines etc.
Right now I have enough ER guys junior to me to inform you I will never see a reserve line till I am a Captain or you guys win a seniority grab.

So said the DAL/NWA pilot pre 9/11.

It's all about you! Your QOL, your position, your aircraft, your career expectations and your EGO! Get over yourself!

I know you expect us to just rollover and get run over because we are a bunch of dumb Deltoids. It is not going to happen. We have always reached for the middle ground.

You are going to enjoy working for Delta. I already know that we are the nicer company and we are not fanatics about any seat. I do not want a B777 slot, does not suit my lifestyle. That does not mean it is not a highly desired position. Just not my thing.

Most of you are going to be thrilled at your new lifestyle and prospects after this merger even the 10 yr Northwest guy who gets put behind some Delta guy who was employed later than him. DOH means nothing it is all about the lifestyle and career expectations.

I'm looking forward to working at the new DAL as are a majority of NWA pilots. But, don't put words into my mouth, I never said anything about DAL pilots rolling over. I WANT FAIR FOR BOTH SIDES! Not what's fair for Speedbird just so he can be happy. You still don't get it, IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU, IT'S ABOUT ALL OF US!

It is unlikely to happen! But reserve here is not that bad. Lots of senior guys bid reserve lines. It can be quite profitable.

Gentlemen and Ladies welcome to the party! let us all work togather to make it better and regain some of our lifestyle setbacks. I do not envy you your pay raises. I just feel we should have gotten some also which would have made yours even bigger. Maybe in the future.

I look forward to the smoke clearing on the 2oth Nov and I would love to see that we at least have a fair list.

I do get it. I am just letting you know how we see it from the Delta rank and file.

We are slightly disappointed that you guys are pushing the DOH angle. It is not cool but soon it will be all Delta pilots and we just approach things a little bit differently.

But good thing it is out of our hands. I am just about to go suck on a beer at some faraway destination. As I check out the babes at the pool I promise you I will not be thinking about you.

It is not the Delta way. I am really looking forward to the joy on your face when it dawns on you that this merger was a great deal for you guys.
That is going to be my only satisfaction your happiness. So I care about the group! We at Delta care about the group. My pay check and lifestyle presently are endangered. You lucky you are about to get a really noticeable pay bump.
