First of all, welcome aboard, my fellow NWA brothers and sisters! It's a very exciting time in our career, especially in the next year or so. We all share the same pain when we went thru BK, furloughs, ups and downs. I think it's important to think of one company from now, call DELTA AIR LINES. No more segregations within the pilot group, i.e. blue, green, red book, or whatever NWA pilots want to call us DAL guys (perhaps purple, because blue+red is purple We are now joined at the hip, fellas, either we like it or not.

It is a vast difference in corporate culture that most of us will have to accustom to. I hope for the next year or so, keep an open mind, try to work in the best interest of both our families, and our company. It is something that as a newbie at DAL i'm very proud and impressed with, is the ability of our pilot group to work with our corporate leadership to work out our issues instead of doing things that would hurt our career and our company as a whole.

Again, welcome aboard!
