It is intemperate comments like this that make you lose credibility. As an NWA pilot, I can tell you that I do not think Prater "sold us down the river." Nobody else I know at NWA thinks that either. Prater had little to do with the process.
Both NWALPA and DALPA decided to move our seniority integration outside of the ALPA process. The arbitrator made a decision. The vast majority of us are dealing with it, and moving on.
As far as NWA pilots showing DAL pilots how to shut down and airline, I don't think that will be necessary with the current DAL management. Most people have no idea how absolutely venal the NWA management teams were that resulted in the pilot groups having to strike so often. Anderson and his team aren't even close to that level of anti-employee "managers."
