The DC-9s are going away, but huge attrition should make up for the airframe loss. All signs point to the Compass E-175s eventually being flown by mainline.
UAL: Undevoted management, huge labor trouble, losing money, moderate Asian presence, fierce competition in its largest hub. But great potential with the right management team. Great group of employees I fit in well with. Lots of great contacts. My hometown airline. Titanic watch, or hit rock bottom?
So what would you do? Please no "are you nuts, they both suck" comments, because we've already heard all of that here. If you had to choose one of the other, which would you choose and why?
John,
Respectfully here, On which Planet did NWA make 1.3 Billion dollars last year?
Sarcastically speaking have tried Eastern or Pan Am?
Seriously, if NWA made 1.3 billion last year please tell me. Someone tell me.
I fly for AA we made 234 million last year. Our management awarded themselves 174 million. That's right our top 900 managers including Cheif Pilots, Flight Attendant supervisors stuck their hands in the cookie jar and took almost all of it home.
I digress, I wish the best for NWA pilots, but I must have been in a coma for 2006. Cause I do not remember hearing NWA make 1.3 bil.
UAL if you're young.
And i'm not making fun of you here. Maybe I missed it.
