There is now a second Veritas out now concerning the recent message about the hearings at Congress. I know that one is correct. As a NWA pilot told me the MEC knows they screwed up and now its cover your butt time. The joint contract had 3 out of every 4 dollars going to the NWA side with fewer pilots there. With the time value of money no matter how the SLI turns out most NWA pilots will have lost income that will not be replaced. The one bright spot is that I am hearing rumors that management is having second thoughts on the whole merger. Perhaps we can both shake hands and go our separate ways and all be happy.
