This is getting out of hand. To use the rape analogy!!!! Do you know anyone who has ever been raped? Do you? And now you are saying the nwa alpa has raped you! Give me a&**^I& break. You have lost all credibility and I am very concerned with the group of pilots we are about to merging with. Let me respond.

1) Pilots on LTS/medically retired are capable of coming back on the list. I.E have you ever heard of cancer.

2) Our furlough plan was acknowledge, even on this board, to respond to the oil prices hitting 150. In lieu of sending every new hire packing we took leaves/partial leaves/early retirement/and lower monthly caps to avert a furlough. (Team effort kind of thing)

3) You dal guys are quick to make statements about our integrity and assume we are out to rake you over the coals. And you find enjoyment in accepting that. However the fact remains it is your union that was unwilling to move off of their position. We were the ones who offered up 32 compromises! Not you sir! Let's be straight about this. I asked on this forum for any of Dal guys to man up and tell how you would be willing to compromise and not one of you have responded. You want your cake and eat it too. But, now that Bloch and company are saying things that make you nervous like acknowledging that doh settlements have never had subsequent lawsuits or that Bloch would not be interested in your ratio that would be extremely tilted in Dal's favor in five years and even more so in ten years. I could go on. But instead of being upset with your mec for not going to the middle, which hey, would have gained 900 numbers on average for the mid to junior dal guys, you are making incredibly rude remarks about us. You want to do something productive, call your reps and tell them to go the middle or risk the chance that Bloch and company might not buy into your superior pilot group thing and award doh with a fence.

Finally, I know someone close to me that was raped and to equate the northwest pilot group with that guy, you sir, well, I can use not the type of words I need to form my response to you.
