Its not about NW sucks. Its about where the bases will shake out. I think the answer to that is obvious. There is a reason why NW has so many commuters. Its not a slam on NW pilots. They don't choose routes or basing.
I don't understand the huge chip on the shoulder a very few NWA pilots seem to have. The ones I know personally and the ones I have flown with so far are all great individuals and pilots. Some however take every single thing as personal. I have never initiated a single subject putting down NW. I have only responded to posts with obvious errors, miss truths or half truths.
Life is not so bad at Delta Carl, relax a bit and you might even find something you like. Every NWA pilot I have talked with is glad the merger happened. Many saw the highest paychecks of their career this summer even before the pay cuts. Think of the glass as half full not half empty.
