W slot swap done and in hand... The western front is next.
I say NO interim mergers. Agreements. Pwa's of ANY kind, until C12 is in the bag. I have moved backwards since this merger as have ALL of my W2's and I'm sick of it.
I couldn't agree more. My younger brother has an interview with Alaska next week. I am supporting him 100% and told him that is the place to be right now. That said, I can see a situation where if hired he quickly moves to 20% up the Alaska list (they are said to be hiring 300 people.....lots of planes coming online...and have a seniority list of less than 1500). I am 10% at Delta.
I will be happy for my brother but I am getting tired of the backward slide. I feel for the guys in L.A. Somethings gotta give. I say no more Delta mergers until pay and work rules are restored to what they were pre BK and Delta has hired some more pilots.
