Default The joint agreement is posted.

There is a merger website online now with the final details...

I think all DAL and NWA pilots can go and see what they came up with. For some reason I can't copy it.

The good: Looks like they negotiated for pilot jumpseaters never to be bumped off for weight restrictions..

The bad: The pay is higher but still not what our last contract was..... But hey, it's all about protecting jobs. (See "the ugly")


The ugly: I don't know. Looks like the furlough protection for both sides is VERY weak... (Protected from furlough as a result of the merger)

I'm still a "half full" guy, but my socks are still on....

New K Now (I guess this is it)

Dude- who would post something like that and then not include a link!?!?!? If you can't copy it, then just type it.

NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Do you guys have the "State of the Industry" slide show via your mec site that was put out by DAL and NW? Pretty scary stuff in that thing.

No. I find it interesting that you guys have not ratified the TA yet. Didn't your MEC meet yesterday?
