Carl, you always twist words. Go back and reread my post. There wasn't a single negative comment about NWA or their line pilots. I have complete confidence that we are all the same, and will work well together, once given the opportunity.

The only negative comments dealt with a handful of obstructionist individuals working for NWA ALPA. Fortunately they did not prevail, the JCBA and SLI are behind us, and we are moving forward collectively for the betterment of all, rather than imploding ala USAir, who I predict will NEVER see a payraise, because the two sub groups will NEVER be willing to work together to demand one. And management NEVER offers anything out of the goodness of their heart.

Let me repeat: I have nothing but the utmost respect for Northwest Airlines, and the line pilots who work there, and look forward to working along side them for the remainder of my career.
