I was there too. And we gave in to the concessions and agreed to out source more mainline flying allowing the NWA more RJ's, ... 76 seaters and Q400's to be exact.

We parked 194 DC9's and went from 6700 pilots down to 5500 pilots at time of the Merger.

That's a lot of mainline jobs, ... gone !

They still haven't sent out the e-mail with the time or call in info yet.

It's being set up right now. Look for the info to be sent within a couple hours. It'll probably be around 5-6 central this evening.

Conference call to this point.... We signed a non disclosure agreement so there's a lot we can't talk about. Questions?

Question...blah blah blah... We're going to take due diligence.

I appreciate the union taking the time, but this conference call is worthless.

+1, nothing new here.

wow that conference call was a waste of two hours

Good luck guys. I got lucky with an opportunity to move on and left the company last month. That was the worst managed company that I have ever worked for. It sounds like you guys are going to be in for a rough patch. Don't give in. Its a lose lose deal.

Great. So now we have the company AND our MEC keeping info from us. What's our MEC setting us up for?

Once again...will the issue of concessions be put out to the pilots to vote on...or does the MEC get sole authority?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Yes, the pilot group would vote on it.

Where did you go to? Did you have an ATP and/or PIC? Good luck where ever you are going.
