Still don't believe it?--I would be happy to show you how wrong you are on this issue.
Second, you may not be keeping up on current events, but NWA and Delta are BANKRUPT. You can't negotiate with management the way you used to prior to being in bankruptcy. It is really quite simple. Management backed us up againts a cliff. If we struck, we might as well have jumped off the cliff too. Liquidation or live to fight when the industry turns for the better were our only choices. Don't think for one second any of us are happy or glad about our current situation or the TA! And remember, there is not an airline on this PLANET that is not immune to the same fate as NWA, DELTA, UAL, US AIR, EAL, PAN AM...............CAL?
Completely Wrong!! Perhaps if you guys had stood-up to Management and not folded like a deck of cards you might have had something to return to. As it stands now, you'll be lucky to come back to the right seat of a commuter aircraft making $20.00/hour.
Better get those applications fired up.
