Wholly crap guys...there are a lot of assumptions taken from this article.
Someone just said that DAL has hired at least 700 in the last year right? NWA has hired what maybe 300? Do you think maybe the NWA guys are just looking to protect the 400 guys above the recent new hires who have 10 years senority from being stapled below some people who don't even have a year in yet?
I don't care who you work for, but I don't see how you can blame them one bit. No one can tell me that they wouldn't want the same thing if they were in that same position. True mergers are rarely "fair" (whatever that means to you), but you can't tell me that would even be remotely "fair". Besides, this will get ugly as the unions fight to protect their own, just like they are suppose to.
