Wow there's LOTS of "misinformed" people then.
The NWA pilot group voted FOR CP. Granted the junior (-9/320) guys feel "sold-out" by the senior (744/330) guys, but in any case at least the majority of the whole group voted FOR it. So what, they "put the squeeze" on themselves?!
Heck I've got a mainline 320 buddy who actually encouraged me to come here. Yea he's in a big (BIG) minority, but there are
some NW guys who don't despise CP.

I meant that facetiously...
But then again since you brought it up, maybe 9E should be worried? You don't exactly have the most spectacular on-time-figures/customer relations/labor relations/etc/etc and I'm sure NW isn't excited about that, especially when they
own two growing regionals themselves. So yea, I wouldn't want CP or XJ to do well either then...
