Will Delta Agree to Northwest's Offer Without Pilot Consent?

Cropter, didn't mean to make it sound easy--it isn't. We have all given and some more than others. End of the day whether it be fences, or just freezing positions until the economy makes an up swing and the synergies can acutally happen to make airlines more efficient so there is growth. I guess my thoughts are more like let's quit fighting each other, everybody take the good with the bad, get together and demand that these "management teams" that are so damn special they warrant million dollar parachutes just to stay on in their positions run the airline like a business instead of a personal ATM at the pilot's expense. Just remember who the enemy is---not the guy next to you who is just trying to feed his family and preserve himself some dignity. I am not asking everyone to sing Cum By Ya and get all groovy---I feel pretty militant, lost my pension, vacation, sick, I commute to a city I hate and lost in the first merger with the DOH program. I have been backing up for YEARS. What I have realized though is that as long as we are fighting each other Management is free to play golf all day. There needs to be a big fight---just not with your fellow pilots, it needs to go upstairs.
