Listen, I'm not bashing you. Hell, I probably know you. But you talk and talk and talk like you actually know how this is going to turn out. I have a lot of friends at Delta and I wish you and all my friends the best. But you keep on and on about how this and that is going to work out.....you don't have a clue man!! I guess I can't blame you for saying no DOH or staples or whatever. If I was in your shoes I'd be praying for the same thing. It would suck to be on the bottom of a combined list of over 10,000 pilots. Furlough, no matter what you think, is a strong possibility. Maybe it's your own way of therapy. I was doing the same thing when CO and UAL were thinking about dancing. I was praying to god it wouldn't happen because I'd get so screwed, I'd be singing dixie for years to come out of my arse. But what's annoying is your constant posts....over and over...talking with authority. You have no idea what you talking about and have no weight to your argument. If you think the NW guys are just going to roll over and let you take.....you're wrong. Nothing in a merger is good, everyone hurts. Anyhow, best of luck.
