Best of luck.
This was taken from Wikipedia:
"In early 2008 the airline's publicly traded parent
Midwest Air Group was taken over by the private investment firm
TPG Capital with a minority investment by
Northwest Airlines (now part of
Delta Air Lines)."
Av8r,
How could the DAL pilots have screwed the Midwest pilots over in the above scenario? I personally do not remember every fact and if I am wrong then please set me right.
Also, have not seen many "hired, not acquired" stickers around and that is NOT a prevalent topic in our cockpits. Would you rather deal with an AMR/TWA or SWA/AirTran scenario than deal with the DAL pilot group?
Repectfully,
