Northwest workers brace for merger

LG, what up. I have to disagree a little. We lost our jobs not because of instability but because of stupidity. I agree that the free market is a great thing, as long as there is some regulation to rein in GREED. ie; the current financial crisis.  (Sunday Sep 21 | post #180)

If I'm not mistaken nwa no longer has a 145 certificate. They gave it up to avoid the bad publicity because the FAA was getting ready to pull it.  (Sunday Sep 21 | post #179)

Northwest workers brace for merger

Congratulations on the business. I have plenty of training, Thank you. If you will check into what the cargo carriers and Southwest pay you will find that well run companies dont mind paying "what the market will bear". The labor market at the major airlines have been manipulated by greedy people with alot of help from government. I moved to another area of aviation and make more than any major airline mechanic. I lost my job at nwa because of doug steenland not my union.  (Saturday Sep 20 | post #171)

Actually, I could care less what airports they serve. They should have raised fares years ago. Are you saying an airline employee should'nt make a decent living, maybe send their kids to college and maybe be able to retire with some peice of mind?  (Saturday Sep 20 | post #168)

Pratt To Cut Workforce In State

Don't forget Bernie Ebbers (WorldCom)Physical Education degree if I'm not mistaken. Couldn't believe it when I read it awhile back. But hey, we got lawyers and bean counters running airlines now. Whats the difference.  (Jul 26, 2008 | post #46)

Pratt To Cut Workforce In State

Actually the new prevailing attitude of Please Mr CEO don't kick me to the curb is whats killing the worker. Take a look around you. wages stagnate, or going down, 401k instead of pension. health insurance going up. the constant threat of outsourcing to keep the masses (sheep) in line. But hey at least you have a job, right. As for whose killing companies, let me just throw a few names out there.

NWA still faces fuel headwinds

The subject of MRO's, HAVE been brought up here. Yet the nwa cheering section thinks there is nothing wrong with giving away control of quality. As long as a savings can be shown on the bottom line, all is well.  (Jul 24, 2008 | post #10)

Nah... Actually I think he's a snake. But, if he's willing to risk his money so we can tell the middle east to stick their oil where the sun don't shine, count me in. All's well here in the Shenandoah Valley. Ditto on the talk. Glad we were able to solve all Aviation's problems. We'll talk again soon and solve all the world's problems. Have you're people call my people and we'll get er dun.  (Jul 10, 2008 | post #395)
