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?
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!!

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 doubt boeing or airbus will be able to build a plane that significantly improves on the c series and make it as cost effective.

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.

What is with this weekend. Tons of open trips. The last weekend of the month is the same but that makes sense, it is Halloween, what is this weekend?
