Also you get a $500 bonus 6 months after your checkride if you're still there. So, good things going on here. NWA can't afford to take airplanes away from us, so don't pay attention to the threats. We'll get a contract soon enough.
You're new at the Red Tail Orphans club. NWA does what it wants...period!!! They CAN afford to take planes away from anyone when they please, contract or no contract. They have before (MESABA...the other Red Tail) and they could again. Two of your 17 CRJ's you're getting "back" were ours.
I'm glad you "love it" there so far. But sleep with one eye open.
