This one is making its way around several pilot boards.

" heard a rumor that NWA Management has recruited pilot trainees in mexico who are being trained in the event there unfavorable negotiations in the future with NWA pilots.......

These future pilots have agreed to work for 25% of the current pilot force wages and have a 15 year training contract..."

Any substance to this? God help everyone if it is...

Not even a credible lie, if you're going to make something up , use a little imagination. (The cuts the company wants go a lot deeper than 25% for starters)

So to answer your question....no...there is not substance to this. end of story.
 
It's NO secreat that I'm NOT a pilot, but to tell ya' the truth, until 12:01 saturday am, I would have thought this "story" preposterous !!!

Since 12:01 saturday am, (I"VE GOT NEWS FOR ALL OF YOU) "ANYTHING GOES" !!!

WHY,

Because EVERY airline union member, has taken a "stroll" down that famous street called "ONE WAY STREET"............"MINUS AVENUE".........."POINT OF NO RETURN LANE", with NO friggin' end in site !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


One last "INSIGNIFICANT THING" if I may, AIN'T NO other unions on the respective property's "WATCHING EACH OTHERS BACK" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I don't care If each union DETEST'S each other, you NEVER make a SEPERATE deal, with the DEVIL(aka... THE COMPANY) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time will tell !!!

Vanish, I think you read it wrong. EITS didnt say 25% less , he/she said 25% of . In other words 75% less.

How does a top paid commuter pilots pay compare to a top paid NWA pilots pay?

Why don't you just give up this silly fake style of posting and decide which moniker you're going to post under?

Your credibility is zero. Have the courage to not lead with a lie every time you login.

Oh, and that devil sure did provide a cushy lifestyle for you, eh??

Courage, credibility. What would you know of either of those traits?

WKOFH,
You've got it all wrong. NHBB couldn't be bothered playing this silly fake style of posting game that you're accusing him of. I think I know him well enough to say this.

So for you hard headed, not so bright ones out there that can't figure it out I'll explain:
NHBB/AA retired, RTB/NW active.

<_< Bear----I think you struck a nerve!!! The aregant pilots feel they can't be touched! Take a close look at what's going on gentalmen! Now, never mind about Mexico! How many unemployed pilots out there today just durling to get a ride in a 757, 747, etc.? Don't think for a minute NW's management won't try the same on you!!!!Have a good day! Oh! With your experianced mechanics out, I'de do a one hell'va walk arround! Never know what those scabs will try and palm off! And don't forget, it's your tail feathers glued to the seat of that aircraft!!! 😛

Nonsense. The old goof even admitted his troll in another thread. Can't even troll straight......

Hey bobby owens -- yeah, almost 5,000 posts absolutely bestows credibility and courage upon you! Imagine all the postive things you could do w/ your life if you.can.just.pull.away.from.the.keyboard! And hey, those NWA mechs sure are enjoying support from their brother unions up there, eh?

Back on topic: the NWA pilots are not going to be replaced by Mexican pilots. Just wrong on so many levels.
 
NWA management is playing this one "beatifully". First, sign a deal with the group that has the most to lose and is the hardest to replace. Then take on the smallest union, who has little support from the rest and no support from the IAM due to politics . To further show resolve, start showing the F/A's, that replacement workers are being trained. It is quite the plan indeed, apparently being condoned by the White House, since NWA asked that a PEB should not be invoked.

The biggest loser here, besides the AMFA members, will be the F/A's, because NWA will soon make some serious demands on them. It is therefore very sad, that the F/A's has chosen not to support AMFA!

<_< "Mexican pilots"!! Who said anything about Mexican pilots???? He said they were recruting pilots in Mexico!!! :shock:
 
I wouldn't worry I'm sure the co. will reward the ALPA, IAM, and PFAA workers with good job security and fair pay cuts for helping it out.
I would trust the co. completely.
They wouldn't turn on the people who helped them out.
Your jobs are secure.

Please continue looking out for yourselves-the AMFA members had it coming anyway.

:unsure:
 
NWA is training FA's. Isn't one of the demands FN's for all the inter-Asia service as well as for a portion of the other international flying?

This is hilarious.

Most of the ones even moderately successful as contractors couldn't afford the payments on their F250 trucks if there income dropped to the level alleged in this fairy tale.

Now back to my chemtrail flightplanning 😀
