No single NWA pilot can stop anybody from doing anything that our contract allows. For that matter, the entire NWA pilot group can't stop anybody from doing anything that our contract allows. No more than you or any other Delta pilot could stop another Delta pilot from rightfully taking their lump sum - even though it meant bankrupting the pension plan for all the other Delta pilots.
You're quite the victim, aren't you? I think there's a world of difference between someone taking legally earned and protected retirement and someone (a high number, of which you're not encouraging this behavior) calling in sick when they're not to steal equity from NWA pilots and profit from all new Delta pilots.

Maybe you should stick with groundskeeping, Carl. You see, I actually read the stuff your MEC put out. Just by reading a few ziplines I found out that you don't know nearly as much as you think you do. Remember that you were wrong about the interest rate on the funding required of your pension? You're also wrong about accruing service with a hard frozen plan. Yet you continue to act as an authority on something you apparently know little about.
You're writing is the type of passive aggressive stuff that is legend from your MEC and your forum. Your direct arbitration case even started with a Redbook-Greenbook slam of Greg Averill by Eric Newman. I think the majority of your pilots will really enjoy the cultural change provided by our southern Koolaide. A small minority of our guys will really get into the conspiracy theories, backbiting, and disingenuous behaviors that a very small number of your guys seem to enjoy (ALPA Watch, votes of confidence, etc.), but I think the rest are ready for change. Of course, that cultural change might induce a little accountability into some of your "volunteers" that might make them uncomfortable...
It must be hard for a couple of your guys to read the transcripts of what actually occured in January through June this year.
I'm looking forward to what NWA brings to the new Delta. I just hope that those that aren't going to be new Delta aren't allowed to steal from us along the way.
