NWA wants DOH

[Sedona16]

Many of our new hires are in the A320 and the 757. This is not the smallest equipment so drop the staple dance it aint going to happen.

"Many"? Id say more like "some" or a select "few" from the current equipment list I have seen. A Northwest guy overstate something....ive never seen that.

NWA's bottom 400 pilots are not stapled and that term is nothing but flame bait. They hold their status quo flying the smallest equipment for the least pay.

Hold their status quo?? I'm sorry, but not all of the bottom 400 guys at NWA are on the "smallest equipment for the least pay."

A select few?? Talk about the pot and the kettle with your "overstate something" comment.

When I went to the 320, I initially had more guys junior to me on the bus than the -9 in my base.

Well, where are all the DC9 FOs? Your computer model for the SLI had a Jan 1, 2008 fleet snapshot, and it said you had 94 DC9s. How many FOs can fly 94 DC9s? Where could they be? Will some of them fill the 316 787 FO slots your computer model also showed in the fleet snapshot, last January?

Since we started hiring we have had alot more pilots retire than we hired. We have shrunk in size ever since we started reducing those aircraft. NWA was understaffed last summer hence the summer meltdown. The reduction in aircraft only helped them actually staff the airline for once.

I understand you, but I was being sarcastic. I read the transcripts from 10-24 and your SLI computer model pilot guy stated that the actual model had figured in 94 DC9s. We all know that is too many. It also figured in 631 787 slots, for a plane that has never flown. Can you see how I can get sarcastic here?

[SWA/FO]

Bump.....a walk down memory lane, Notice all the Southwest guys chiming in on the NWA/DAL SLI topic? Looks like NONE.

 

[tankerhead]

Bump +1 for some good stuff. OYS/GL can bump it next.

 

[On Your Six]

I wasn't here during that period, but as others have stated, the SLI process isn't fun. But, can it be orderly afterwards? Some airlines haven't had luck with that, and hard feelings persist. (USAir) But that hasn't been the case at Delta, at least what I have seen. Will it be that way at Southwest? Hopefully it will be civil, but you can't continue to say the AT guys deserve a staple job. I didn't read any of that from this Delta/NW thread. That is the difference.
