Yet Delta didn't have a Seattle base prior to the merger, only NWA did. Now you post this hateful stuff? You don't even know what you're talking about and it makes you sound like one of those few Delta pilots that give all of us a bad name.
There's a number of us fNWA guys that get the feeling that the whole "acquired not hired" thinking lives right below the surface among fDAL pilots despite the outward niceties. Your post here tends to reinforce that belief. Bar posts his loathing of the SLI, then another posts his loathing of all NWA pilots and wish that the merger never happened. Yet hardly a single response from a fDAL pilot admonishing that kind of stuff.
Really, really sad.

Certainly do not agree with your take here Carl, and if I have a point about any FNWA element here I would say it. The Other side is simply the dark side, and I can see where that ref could be taken otherwise in light of the issues. Purple, Peastain, Manager guy, all have the same trait, just be plain angry and mean. NWA had Seattle, it was not the base I was bumped out of at the merger, it was LAX AFTER 2 displacements!!!. My stance has always been the same prior to and during and after the merger. These DELTA displacements in regard to policy do not protect anyone. My desire is for a down but not out of a domicile policy to displacements and mergers. Pilots wanting in, have to wait for an opening that their seniority allows. Which is what I am waiting for in Seattle, my number when it happens.
I am surprised after the time we have been here that you would jump to that conclusion, I guess we just have to take a step back and try a bit more understanding and empathy. Which is the very point I was angrily venting about in my response to purple's drivel (no more empathy for that guy).... I apologize for nothing that I said in my post. Your take is not fair given our record here, my mistake was not clarifying the other side and its unintended consequence. Dark side would have been better but do you not agree that may have generated the same response???? Beer is still on me Carl and I am sure we would drink more than one given the chance...
