Do you mean stapling approx 500 NWA guys to the bottom, even behind the DAL newhires who started after the announcement?

Entirely justified considering the number of NWA aircraft retired prior to or in conjunction with SOC.

Bid is done, ran a few times and will be posted shortly after SOC announcement.

SOC will be tonight at 0000 +1 from what I have been told by a few ppl today.

Schwanker,

Please step away from the crack pipe. There were two classes after the 4/14 announcement on 4/21 and 5/5. Both of these comprise the DAL 45 and we're proudly at the end of the list.

Does this mean your "MSP bound" is an informed post?

You know the guys I'm talking about. You probably even flew with a few. They are the guys in the top 100 at ASA. ASA in 1995 was a lot different than ASA in 2003.


On reflection, if you were a captain for 8 years there, then you must have been a new hire when I was a captain there.:eek:

I agree and I know the guys you are talking about.

I am sure I was. You came here in 1997 correct. CA on the 88?

The Delta MEC offices are closed the 31st and New Years. Do you think they'll post the results with everyone out of the offices?

No idea, but that is how I bid......

Another stupid question, when the SOC is announced, will that mean the formal end to Northwest Airlines?

Which crack pipe do you speak of? Did DAL propose to put these 45 folks in front of nearly 500 NWA pilots? Point is, hardly middle of the road.
