Rumors Fly Over Fate of Midwest Planes

Great leaders motivate. On groundhog day, Punxsutawney Tim, emerged, saw his shadow, and went back into hiding for six more weeks.

He last spoke to us 11/10, and they sent a memo out today. Nice. Good leadership!

This will scare the guys still there even more to just bend over and take the huge paycuts...only a matter of time before they agree.

Didn't NWA buy into Midwest awhile back? If so, why aren't those pilots integrated into the new DAL?

They bought a minority share and are a "silent" partner. This has been fought throughout aviation history (the various buy-ins to PanAm which brought lawsuits come to mind) and will happen into the future.

I dunno. I hope not. Some very senior pilots seem pretty adamant that this is not going to happen (including #1 on the seniority list).
