All in all, it will be good news, depending on where you are.

well, if history and reality are any indicators, it will be good news for those who are as far away from DoUgIe & kirby as possible!

It's true, something is brewing and you just need to wait a little longer. All in all, it will be good news, depending on where you are.

God please don't tell me its Doug+UA+East please, please, please. A how do you know what it is?

Hopefully that is the profitable part now and not the "profitable" part prior to the last two BK's (Yes plural!) that I have gone through. On second thought, with much 20/20 hind sight, we should have stayed independent! I still have my "Plan B" in place. Oh wait, we had a meltdown...etc. I might not be here to crow about profitability-but never mind that. A rising tide floats all boats. It doesn't work as well the other way.

Hey, a merger with UAL would definately be "CIC", oh wait, the CWA gave that away, nevermind.

Well, thats what you get for allowing two unions to siphon dues from the two workgroups.They are concerned with maintaining the revenue from dues at this point, nothing more.

That alliance of incompetence is paying huge dividends isn't it?

Read the letter of agreement from the CWA, they gave away the snap back provisions until the end of the contract.

OK, now we are not going to turn THIS thread into another union discussion are we?

Please keep it on topic.

Thank you.

There was NWA jet in PHX yesterday at the MX hangars, kinda like when the US planes started showing up before anything was "official"

OK, now I know I have asked this before, but here's an interesting question.

IF NW took West, and UA took East, in theory, at least, would it not make sense for East and West to swap Airbus 319 and 320 aircraft before such a transaction closed? NW and East use CFM-56 engines and UA and West use the IAE 2500's if I remember correctly. The 321's and 330's could go to NW as well, to maintain fleet/engine commonality. NW already has 330's. Of course eventually this could leave the flying pigs without homes (321's), unless they could go to F9 or something like that.

It seems to me operating the same type of aircraft with two engine types makes no sense whatsoever. While the transaction would be complicated, the Airbus fleets would match perfectly, leaving only the 757's if I recall correctly with diverse engine types.

And while I am dreaming, NW already has a large fleet of 757's as does UA, so the entire fleet of RR powered 75's could be disposed of.

Of course this could never happen, because it makes TOO MUCH SENSE..... but what if..........????
