Exactly my point.......no one knows at this time. Certainly if an agreement with the Northwest MEC can be made quickly the odds increase significantly, but I think the glass is way over half full........

I think it would be nice if someone, probably within "both" unions, made sure they were hired. Not b.c. I am a NWA guy, but b.c. remember what it was like, remember how hard it was to get the interview and pass, and then that feeling of...wheew, I am almost there. Its kinda like being furloughed or kicked in the nuts...I know they dont have a number, but comeone throw them a bone...its not there fault.

If nothing else, they should go to the front of the line to interview at the New DAL...but I still say make sure they get hired!

I agree with you. I certainly hope they have the opportunity to interview relatively quickly when hiring resumes.

I totally agree, but I am not sure that either side wants to give something up ( in the combined PWA) for that.
IMHO this management is good. Maybe just maybe they will honor all hires.
