Really both sides were and are shrinking some and growing some. I'll do better next time.
And Carl, you're the coolest!"
Now was THAT so hard.

Sheesh - I have to do everything around here.
Carl, seriously you are out of line and you have taken what was said WAY overboard.
His comments WERE NOT, and HAD NOTHING to do about pre-merger NWA, especially you're comment of "
I kind of fell back on those old pre-merger days where we kept saying NWA is shrinking into oblivion".
The comment was about the FAs and the fact that unlike us, the pilots, who have a joint contract and as of now have cross bidded aircraft, the FAs DO NOT have this. And as such, they are a divided group and they can not mix fly with one another until their representation issues are figured out.
The comment was about how the FA NWA aircraft that they're flying on has, without question, shrunk since the merger or is scheduled to shrink (thinks DC9s and some of those 757s), whereas, DAL has attained some new airframes. So, it was a slap to the face of the NWA FAs who have not solved representation issues that they may have less flying in the future if they don't figure things out.
Nothing was arrogant, mean spirited, or unfair to the great history and vector of the NWA family.
Can we all just get along???
