Choice is an illusion created by those who have power for those who don't.
Unless you:
1. Have a seat on the BOD
2. Are CEO of DAL or NWA
3. Are a major shareholder of DAL or NWA
4. Are a major creditor of DAL or NWA
5. Are The President of the United States
6. Are The Attorney General or,
7. Someone who has the ear of any of the above
You have no choice in whether or not the merger goes through and no one is listening.
The previous smoke and mirrors show that we saw --"Hey, pilot's. Is it ok with you for us to merge?"-- was just an illusion.
They can ram this merger down out throats. It's their company, I know I don't own either one. (If I did, I'd be broke)
We are about to learn about cause and effect. They will cause the merger and it will effect us somehow.
If we had a legal basis to turn it down, or vote no or strike or something, then maybe. But we don't.
I would suggest to the Executives though that they not push us too far or else the summer of 2007 could return in 2008.
We'll see what happens...
Good luck to us all.
