IF they get to the SB, I hope they aren't 2 yards short of a win this time

Well Dan Katz got date of hire for Republic against Northwest in that merger which had the greatest disparity in equipment, career path, and nature and character of hired airline in the history of airline mergers. That goes for before or since I might add. Remember that Northwest had the longest average stage length under the American flag at that time and the second highest average gross weight(behind Flying Tigers). Republic had 8 727's and 6 757's (3 flying and something like 3 ordered) and the world's largest fleet of DC-9's.. AND they got date of hire....The differences between the current Delta and Northwest are miniscule by comparison so let's see what Dec. 8 has to offer.....

I don't know if it is the law of averages, or if my teams just suck, but the outcome is usually bad.
In this case, I hope my team doesn't suck.

You have an interesting "thought" process there Slow - but I knew that already.
And by the way, that religion is working out just fine. I'd be very concerned if we had done anything else but give the arbitrators what they've asked for.Carl

Dalpa has not given a plan B because they were not asked to provide one. The arbitrators have given feedback to both sides in the mediation process. The result is the NWA plan B. There was a nice quote in the process when NWA stated that there proposal was still DOH. One of the arbitrators asked what they just spent 4 hours listening to then!
