Besides, NWA's business is not trending in the right directions. Has anyone considered that this merger could be VERY BAD for Delta's future?
Bar,
As I said before, I'm not one to defend NWA because they have ****ed me off in the past. But, you are not one to support DAL because you keep passing off bad information.
Besides American, NWA has the most cash on hand of all the Legacy carriers. Also,if you listen to the experts, there was the real possibility that NWA was looking to buy DAL. I don't think that will happen, but take it for what it's worth.
Also, in the past 9 months NWA has found enough money to buy 36 airplanes for twon different companies (36 for Compass and 36 for Mesaba). They have also bought 49% of another airline (Midwest Express). So, obviously they are not broke and they are not letting the paycuts we took sit in the bank.
DAL lost over $60 million last quarter and NWA lost $8 million. Like I said, I'm not here to defend NWA. But dude, get your facts straight. It's not quite hell over here and NWA is not about to fold or drag anyone down in a handbasket.
Just relax and see what happens. Because I guarantee you no one is listening to me as a 13 year pilot at NWA and certainly no one is listening to you as a 1 year DAL pilot. If it goes down, it goes down, no matter what we say. As they say; "scream all you want, no one is listening."
