A nine (9) aircraft fleet vs. merging with AirTran ? No you tell me... should Midwest pilots count on support from their ALPA brothers at Delta/NWA?
Did you have only 9 airplanes when Airtran made their run? DL and NW may have been talking when it happened, but DL was upset that NW went and did this deal. It muddied the waters.
As far as support, what do you want? If you strike, we won't fly struck work. Or do you want us to negotiate a contract for you. Maybe take up a collection to help reimburse you. Tell me, what do you want us to do for you?
