I agree with previous post. Yes....there is a flow through / down; but this is not where all the new hires will be coming from (Compass and Mesaba). Compass is not even staffed yet, let alone have enough to flow up to main line. This Compass thing is still a concern to many as to how it will effect main line DC9 / Airbus guys. Not saying they won't hire (they are short now) but the future is not completly clear either.

NWA will likely be street hiring before the first flow pilots ever sets foot on the property. Rumor has it with fewer furlough pilots than expected returning, might see the application process open up as soon as August.

NWA was my first choice back in 1999. They had iron clad scope language and NWA ALPA was unbreakable. While all the other legacy's were giving up their scope for Pay, NWA ALPA knew what would happen if they let RJ's on the property. Well, now, there no different then anybody else.
I just resigned today. It truly is a sad day for me. I thought I died and gone to heaven when I arrived in MSP that fall day in 99. It's a personal choice, and I pray I am doing the right thing!
Good luck to all!

Why does NWA take so much heat for doing what USairways, United, Delta, American(to a lesser degree) have done with their employee contracts? I might argue that with the saved pension, they "imposed" fewer cuts on their employees. Sure the contract sucks compared to what we had, but please tell me what the alternative was, especially when the airline was losing millions of dollars a day? I get the feeling fellow employees would have preferred to stick their heads in the sand until all the money was gone, and then close the doors. Who wins with that?
NWA management stood side by side with the employees to save their pension in Washington DC, while Delta management made no attempt to push the pension legistlation through Congress. And all I hear is praise for Delta and their management. What gives?

Side by side with the employees, give me a break.

I think most of the movement in the future will be flow down to Compass and Mesaba. NWA management has every intention of getting rid of every DC-9 they can, and replace them with RJ's. Its just a matter of time IMO.

He, and another pilot who is also with us, are furloughed from NWA, and are not going back. They said it is a horrible place to be right now, and doesn't seem to be getting better.Also, a United guy just resigned from there the other week. Same story. One is on the edge right now. He thinks it will be around August to make up his mind.
BTW, where are you now? Kalitta?
