Interesting article....this was a noteworthy finisher.
This is something Chairman Mao-K should keep in mind. Bowing down every time they want a concession and thinking they will pass along the good will at contract time is foolhardy. It might say Delta Management on the front door but there is an NWA snake inside. CEO Richard Anderson was NWA via UHC President Ed Bastian, Delta EVP marketingGlen Hauenstein, CAL EVP HR and Labor Relations Mike Campbell, CAL EVP Operations Steve Gorman, NWA via Greyhound and Krispy Kreme SVP Maintenance Tony Charaf, Delta I think there are 4 pre-merger NWA Board members on the new Delta Board of 12 (Steenland, Slater, Feret, and Bostock) Current Delta management "DNA" mirrors the relative sizes of the pre-merger airline (5-3), with NWA management taking much more of a "synergizing" hit because they were proportionally larger than pre-merger Delta's system. |
Wiggy/Slow,
Is that anything like your mannuals, procedures, paint job, uniforms bidding programs and general good looks are better than ours?:rolleyes: I think you are taking this wayyyyyyy to serious. All we are trying to warn you of, is there is still an old corp culture that came with us that ended most memos with "failure to comply will result in deciplinary action up to and including termination". The good news is most of those guys didn't make the traveling team, just be careful of those that did. Lighten up boys, it's all good!!:D Ferd |

So I hear, the GTF is just too big for the 73N. It does not have the ground clearance. Now maybe we could hang one of those of the 757 wing??! :)
I think that the winglets are a mod. Not sure if the GRF on the 320 would be a new jet or not. Note: The current engine on the 737 is a 60 inch fan. |

I was going to say the same thing. At AMR they can activate on-line up to four hours prior to departure. The correct coding is on the ID so we could just you that and have the Mr or Mrs. at home activate us.

I think we are reaching the limit on technology in the aircraft sector, I think the C series will take over the 100 seat market. I doubt boeing or airbus will be able to build a plane that significantly improves on the c series and make it as cost effective.
Note: The current engine on the 737 is a 60 inch fan. 2022+ is a long time to wait for the next best thing and the narrow body fleets needs updating before then. If we try to wait that long, the cost of maintaining this fleet is going to be an Achilles Heel. |
