Well...it sure does shoot holes in that tired line of "NW senior management will be running the show at DAL, yada yada"

With only 30% consisting of NW staff, that hardly appears to be the case anymore.

With that being said its time to quit the NW VS DAL as we are soone to be one of the same now. The constant bickering and "we are better then you" etc., doesnt show well for the soon to be the largest carrier in the world.

Not sure where you got the 30/70, but take a harder look. Some were right in earlier posts about the new management being heavily NW. Ed, Michael C and Glen are DAL. Richard is former NW, as is Steve Gorman (I think). Others are NW. Redo the algebraic equation on this one. If this is right, then it looks more like 33% DAL, 67% NW leadership. Good or bad who knows, but changing the diversity of in the upper ranks in any case.

The 30% is referenced in the article:
Many will be replaced by counterparts at Northwest, the sources said, though some management members will move up in the ranks.

Many who will be leaving have worked for Delta in high management positions for many years, the sources said. The departures represent about 30 percent of Delta’s senior management staff.

Fine. A good first step will be for you to take your advice...

The best place to look to see who's coming from where is at the org. charts for "day one" operations.
 
More to be announced this week...look for more NW.

We tried to tell the good folks at Delta. NW (including Anderson) have found the outsourcing Motherload at Delta...dapoe..et al, will believe it the day you are staring at the paper that says "Thank you for all that you have DONE for Delta...good luck in your future endeavors".

Most of us at NW knew what was coming down the pike. It's about money, they kept the "Delta" name because of money (tax credit) ONLY. These NW sharks play second fiddle to NO ONE. Sadly, it appears some will learn the hard way.

To leave yourself with out a Union at the "New Delta/NW" is to stand in the shoes of the Democratic Chinese idealist in COMMUNIST CHINA as the Red Army tanks approach ...but this time you WILL BE ran over....odd how the color of Red suits this group of NW leaders. I am sure most of you know exactly why the Widget was turned RED and pointing NW.

It is an ominous sign of things to come.


-----------------

On a sad note...our entire NW payroll dept. are losing their jobs, as the New Delta outsources theirs to Jamaica. Give them a call and thank them for all that they have done for us over the many decades. (some with 40 years, just like our mechanics)

Good luck with this train of thought. Just wait till you see a bit more of how the good old boys operate from the center of the earth down there in ATL. Mixing a group of unionized workers into the non-union shop of DL is going to be something to behold in itself. Going from a contract to doing things how they think they should be done on any given day will be a shocker for all. Oh where or where is your little DL posterboy Delta777 when his own house is out of order? Oh that's right he is busy bashing other Airlines about their woes... :blink:

Fair enough.

Merging two airlines is about payoff.

NW has a superior balance sheet to Delta's, far brighter future in Asia than Delta, (the fastest growing region in the world) which means higher future yield/ revenue. Had it not been for the $9.1 Billion NOL credit carried over from Delta's BK (listed in it's 10K, as a result of poor financial management) under which it is only available "with out a change in ownership control"...(same for NW and every other BK carrier, NW had a $3.9 Billion NOL credit), along with the possibility of NON Union work force, the airline would be called Northwest Airlines. It was a business move and NOTHING to do with silly sentimentality of a brand.

Why do you think the controlling interests in BOTH airlines are the SAME Activists Hedge Funds?

Now...NW people saw the game plan, the possibility of NON Union employees made NW salivate at the chops. Now what you have is a NW takeover of Delta while many Delta people think it is the opposite (better to keep them NON UNION while playing the Delta rah rah song, until you are in position to lower the hatchet.) Hence the sly move by former NW NMB Chairwoman Van Der Flunky to change union election rules to favor companies (airlines). Blocked and killed by Unions and politicians.

You will see...very little of old Delta left in the management ranks now that the merger has been approved. I'd start rethinking that Union opinion if I were you!

Is that why the majority of management and as of late, board members are comprised of DAL. :lol:
