How will NWA pilots be disadvantaged in obtaining a joint contract? It is a
joint contract. Both sides have to work together to get it.
Also, I do not understand why they are whining about not getting in on the rewards when all they have done is get in the way of a fair deal that would have benefitted their pilots. What have they done to deserve equity?
I know the average NWA pilot should not be painted with the same brush, but their leadership is lacking.
Of course the DAL MEC is working to protect and promote its advantage in arbitration. The DAL MEC did not want to go there (and still does not) but if forced to fight, they will fight effectively. What else would you expect?
Together we can build and benefit from the World's largest airline. Welcome aboard, just holster your pistol before boarding.
