You have time to tell your MEC what you want. None of this goes into effect until post merger.

Absolutely!
But, somehow, the NWA MEC doesn't see things that way.
Do the NWA line pilots agree with their MEC?
Has the NWA MEC painted itself into a corner? or do they really believe their press releases?
I don't know the answer to that question. Anyone from NWA care to answer?

Much preferable. Management is in a hurry to get the deal approved and closed. A prior joint contract and SLI will help them, and they will pay for this help. If they get it done without such pilot assistance, their wallet will slam shut and they will revert to a cost-control mode. A divided pilot group will then have great difficulty prying loose any contract improvements at all.

Are you paying attention, NWA MEC???

Thanks, Tom!
Good luck to us all...

Of course, little birdies on both sides like to sing...

How did a bird not get shot trying to migrate south from Minnesota? Totally odd.
Those birdies tend to sing whenever you turn on Ted Nugent and give them flashbacks to Michigan and Eight Mile.

I'm curious what the delta pilots think the NWA pilots should get if the SLI is/isn't done by the merger date?
Should they get a pay raise, equity or nothing at all?
Would your feelings be any different if NWA got a 28% raise and equity and delta was left out?
