More mechanical woes at NWA

[CSAR GYRENE]

Interesting point that in all honesty is irrelevant. There are no sniper teams or reginments in the airline business. In addition you will proabely not find yourself seperated from "command and control" in the airlines business. If you do there is something seriously wrong with your airline.
You turned down a job working on the Zulu program but then took one at NWA? I'm not trying to be a jerk but that sounds like a bad decision. If you had been willing to "suffer" a bit in Maryland it might have leed to bigger and better things. At the very least it would have been more stable than NWA. An airline that even before the strike was obviously headed for BK. You did'nt want to live in Maryland but were perfectly willing to live in MSP or DTW? I find that a bit strange.
The airlines are not Home Depot first of all. Second of all unlike the military Home Depot does not have absolute authority over it's employess 24-7. Try and run an airline maintenance department like the military and see what happens. We had a supervisor who was ex-USAF who tried that at one of our smaller stations. Let's just say a member of management had to have a little chat with him to tell him to cool it.

Not a bad point... I would ask, however, why we cannot take the best parts of the military, and try and marry it up with the best parts of an airline. I would not necessarily agree that they are mutually exclusive, PARTICULARLY in mid to upper management, which, as I am given to understand, is where the bulk of problems lie.

You are ABSOLUTELY correct on this one. I did an analysis about 1 1/2 or 2 yrs before this and DL and NW were spending MORE ASM than any other carrier. DL was just a hare more.

I'm #4 on the list also! Watch out, I may know how to cook a meal 30,000 ft but I also can dismantle, unload and load a M-16 and other various fun toys.
