Hey NBNW!!!!

Hope you enjoy you f-ing crowe sandwhich. Should we dig out all those anti-UAL post you wrote about BK? To the rest of the NW employees good luck. To NBNW, well I think you know my wishes for you.

An airline declaring BK is not fun. I have been trough it. Trust me, calm your family down, turn off the TV for a couple of days, everything will be all right. Put it in perspective, life goes on. Get a hold of yourself and follow my advice.

Just as AMFA predicted!

Actually we stated quite clearly we wouldnt work for the terms NW offered no need to predict if we would be replaced. There have only been 6 scum to cross the picket line out of 4,000. Do you think we are that worried about being replaced? What hole do you live in? If you knew anything about the strike other then what the company tells you then you would know if it comes down to accepting the companies offer then we would rather not work for NW.

One thing i cant figure out is, NW wanted a 26% paycut and 2000 in layoffs to save the company from BK. They got 100% paycuts and 4000+ in layoffs and look where they are now. Looks like the scabs couldnt quite cut it because if things are going so great as NW says then why the BK filing? Maybe the next management team will actually know something about managing an airline.

Hey, I'm not a scab and I'm not trying to piss you off.

6 out of 4k, are you referring to AMFA employees returning to work? (Sorry, I don't know everything about all that is going on . . .)

Yeah, it seems like some people are worried about being replaced. Did I miss something between the lines on the boards?

I think NWA plans to 'fix' more than just labor (or AMFA) in bankruptcy. Time will tell.

I wish the striking employees, and the remainder of the employees at NWA the very best of luck and I wish you all the best.

Best of Luck....If Mr. Seeham puts a beating on NWA's lawyers like the one he just gave AA's lawyers, you guys should come out ahead of where NWA wanted you back on Aug 20th. My money is on Lee kicking the crap out of NWA.

 

[Bagbelt]

AMFA can't even get a 1080 guys back to work. I've been a supporter, but come on.

Please tell me you have more common sense than that.

Go stand outside your nearest gas station... Fuel was the final nail in the coffin for both NWA and DAL, and will most likely be for FlyI.

NWA was likely going into Ch.11 with or without a labor agreement from AMFA. It will be interesting to see how many of the contract maintenance outfits actually get paid for the past 30 days.... If they weren't getting cash up front, they're screwed.

Fuel was not an issue 18 months ago (when NWA began hiring SCABS).

NWA had a plan, were was your common sense?
