Very similar to delta.

The name and HQ stayed the same, but NWA mgmt took over.

Don’t give them the idea.

We record the engine oil added in pints. Figure that one out.

(That’s the mx equivalent of QFE.)

It's pints. Look at the fine print on the AML page.

That makes zero sense. It’s very clearly in quarts on the gauges and in the expanded preflight in the OM or whatever the heck they are calling it now.

That time is over. I’m rowing for me. The union has deserted all of us and the “drums” you beat are muted after this last merger. Filling my account with cash. Where wer you about that rowing when the seniority issue was around? Let it go, you say? It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Got my ATW true up today. Who’d thunk. Of course the union will want its cut.

It’s been a great career for me.....despite the AWA and LAA pilots who continue to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
