Keenster, the problem with YOUR mind set is that all you want is the way YOU used to do it. I happen to think we ARE better and moving in the right direction. Unfortunately for a few of my fellow fNWA brothers, you included, if it doesn't say Northwest it must suck. I firmly understand that there are growing pains and that we've come light years very quickly in merging the world's largest airline. What I'm totally sick of is guys making mountains out of mole hills, turf battles out of trivial BS, and trying to draw divides where none exist. I also happen to think that over time we will take the best of both sides...When you have to make shareholders, the FAA and the flying public happy over night, you choose the expedient option. We had the large majority of pilots, therefore the expedient route was predominately the way we (DAL) did business. Do I think that will remain? No, I don't. Do I care who is the fleet captain for the 320, fNWA or fDAL? No I don't. Pick your battles dude. This ain't one!
