For any junior pilot organic growth beats a merger. Just accept it for the truth that it is ... nothing against our merger partner, it's operation and especially its' pilots. Every NWA pilot has been a great guy.

I definitely agree with your Contract 2000 analysis, and in your conclusion that for a junior pilot organic growth beats a merger- but that conclusion is only valid on the short term.
However, in our situation I believe our long term benefit (re: healthier airline and more money) is going to be through this merger. It is what it is, and it's done. It's spilled milk. Like slowplay, I'd much rather be working for the profitable survivor.
Also great points in regards to negotiations. Realistic expections (not 120%...geez) have to be set... what those are, are certainly a matter of debate!
Good gosh my wife suggested a walk to the dog and now he won't stop barking. I'll be back. Can't. think. complete. thoughts.
