Life goes on. But I hope you don't have these discussions around fNWA guys. Kicking sand in the losers' face is unwise.

The two airlines did not have similar equipment. Given the level of dissention on "Super Premium," it would seem that you in particular would be aware of the differences, so much so that you placed a fence around your desired flying.

On my end of the list, the differences were more dramatic. 76ER lineholders were merged with DC9 FO's, many of whom did not want to return to their NWA jobs and were out on furlough bypass. Along those lines, some of the A320 guys probably felt robbed too.

It is what it is. I'll be polite, but damned if I'll cower.

Same as I told the 63 YO f-NWA 73A who was explaining his 4.5 million dollar retirement set up, plus defined plan (which candidly I did not understand ... told him I had nothing before, or after, does not matter to me, but there are some who lost a lot that probably would not be as receptive to the conversation)
