Best of luck.

"In early 2008 the airline's publicly traded parent Midwest Air Group was taken over by the private investment firm TPG Capital with a minority investment by Northwest Airlines (now part of Delta Air Lines)."
Av8r,
How could the DAL pilots have screwed the Midwest pilots over in the above scenario? I personally do not remember every fact and if I am wrong then please set me right.
Also, have not seen many "hired, not acquired" stickers around and that is NOT a prevalent topic in our cockpits. Would you rather deal with an AMR/TWA or SWA/AirTran scenario than deal with the DAL pilot group?
Repectfully,

I hope it doesn't happen, but I think after the US/AA deal, AK will be next. Maybe not, but a nice piece of low laying fruit.
Best of luck.

Hey toolbag, where can I get one of those stickers? Having been at DL for over 27 years, and through 3 mergers, I've never seen one but it sounds like a great idea for a conversation starter on those long night flights!
And don't worry, I seriously doubt YOU will ever have to worry about dealing with a Delta Pilot merger.

I was in MSP yesterday and thought I saw a Delta guy (may have been Mesaba/Compass/etc?) with his HAT ON, and hauling a flight kit on his roll a board bag! Are there any of our fleets that don't have ship-sets?
I was po'd that he didn't snap to attention and salute as we passed by! Doesn't he KNOW who WE are??!
Slackers!
