What if the a$$ that gets kicked are the pilots? Unemployment and career dissolution is absolutely no fun. One day you are worth 125K the next nothing. Our only value as pilots really lies with our seniority in the company. As we all know once that is gone the abyss awaits. Even now there are hobo like ex-eastern pilots who walk about our local airport mumbling to themselves about Lorenzo. For most if NWA goes away that will be the last job they will ever have. The same goes for DAL. Perhaps the strength that needs to be shown is an honest understanding of the situation and a desire for self preservation over ego?
