So each pilot is digging through a 10-day history of the bird (required on NWA metal) to the tune of 20 to 60 pages of entries and then having to research every MEL and make safe they are applied. Of course all of this is in the 10th to 15th hour of your duty day. Seriously, what is up with this continuous turn over in equipment?

Agreed. Never said NWA was perfect. Far from it.
What are those reasons? Why were fNWA folks forced out of their positions by being treated disrespectfully until they finally got the hint and retired? Why are we the worst airline in customer complaints? Why do you think we are where we are? I can't deny reasons that you don't state. As far as conspiracy theories, I'm not on the inside, so I don't know. I only know what has actually happened. You can't help but notice. I would hope people would react to facts and reality, and not through unified groupthink. Carl |

OK, so what you're saying is that the fNWA groupthink was alright (because that's all you seem to spew)...but the new Delta groupthink is bad. Makes total sense. I got ya.

Carl Great reference to a poem by Longfellow..............oh, you weren't quoting poetry, were you? :D Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
This whole North vs. South technology issue amazes me - can we agree that both sides suck! Yeah, maybe one side sucks more than the other, but lets face it we both suck. But then again, the American consumer is getting just what they want - cheap tickets.
I used to buy cross country discounted tickets in the late 80's for about $450. Today you can get them for $200-300. What else has not only not gone up in actual dollars (not even inflation adjusted) but gone down. A few high tech items but not much else. So the fact that we suck should not really be a badge of dishonor, because John Q. Public can still get his cheap tickets. I guess they just want the ticket price to be cheap but still expect the service to be Top notch. Tough **** - tickets are cheap and so service sucks - the politicians and the public both got what they wanted. Airline employees got screwed - lets just move on, life is too short to argue about which sides technology sucks the least. Scoop |

Gotta run now folks, but please consider this: Resumes mean diddly. One of the best resumes to ever run an airline was from an astronaut named Frank Borman. He walked on the moon, then destroyed Eastern Airlines.
Results are what matters. Only results. BW's recent results were awful. Let's hope he learned something from those bad decisions. Carl |
