I can't find my old post, which I wrote prior the arbritration kicking off, but as some will recall I wrote about my experience as a jury member in a lawsuit between a Hollywood producer and Blockbuster Inc over the move "Monster". I talked alot about how lawyers operate and how each side painted the other as gold digging morons. Was fun to watch and in every case I was glad I wasn't the guy being grilled on the stand. I hate to say "I told you so" on how this would play out, but..............

Now, where are we at the end of all this? Our lawyer painted Delta pilots as gold digging, seniority grabbing jurks. Delta's lawyer painted us as dishonest, cheating data manipulators who will con very experienced arbritators to gain a windfall.

Am I accurate in the two positions?

Once again, this thread is nuts as a minimum and bogas and insulting as a maximum.

Just another case of PWUI (Posting While Under the Influence). :) A fairly common occurrence on these boards that normally livens things up.

Hey moderators,

Shut this thread down. This is a public forum read by many and to let the Dal guys get away with equating us northwest guys with rapist is beyond out of line. All credibility is lost. Shut this thread down. It's disgusting.

NWA SLI Shenanigans...title says it all.

I still believe your concerns were covered in cross and are not an issue.

Cog........here is my offer. Lets go through the Delta closing argument when it comes out today, and if this is mentioned by your lawyer as an issue, I will gladly and publicly apologize for what I've said. I elected a rep who elected a merger committee (yes different from your system) so we are in fact all somewhat responsible.

If not, we let it all go and move on together. Deal?

Ferd

Deal Out of town and haven't seen the transcripts. What was the verdict.

You have lost all credibility and I am very concerned with the group of pilots we are about to merging with. Let me respond.

Oh give it a rest. I never said NWA pilots ever raped anyone. It was an analogy which illustrates that if someone does something that is less than ethical, you donīt just suck it up and move on.

Maybe if I had used the following analogy it wouldnīt have been so hard on your sensibilities.


"Hey some one just stole my kitty cat."

"Relax, itīs over, suck it up."

Of course, maybe you know someone who had a kitty cat stolen so I might presume too much.


The bottom line is that there is a disturbing pattern of using suspicious, or incorrect data, which coincidentally always supports the arguments the NWA merger committee puts forth.

BTW, what were those 32 compromises, were they a variation of your DOH proposal, or did you move off of your original proposal and finally settle on DOH? I wonder what the previous 31 proposals must have looked like, because your last proposal has nearly 3000 DAL pilots stapled to the bottom of your list after a few years. Yeah thatīs fair and equitable. Why oh why did we not jump on that offer?
