Which part of American Airlines is responsible for all this DL and NW nonsense?
Take the DL debate back to the DL room where it can be ignored.
yea..I'm surpirsed Delta even has a forum here because being non union there should be no dissent at all among the employees at DL! Since everything is peaches and cream at Delta, there should be no reason to discuss and debate anything.
Not sure if your post contained a wee bit of sarcasm but I've solicited Delta mechanics several times to air complaints or comments about being non-union. Few express any complaints about the working conditions, pay, or benefits, unlike AA who is in constant turmoil as we are certainly a disgruntled lot.

And the statistics of reduction in the number of employees in the decade leading up to the DL-NW merger.Yes sarcasm indeed. But remember this, for decades, Delta was a better place to work because they made it that way in order to keep unions out!
Also remember how many people were let go when they downsized Atlanta and closed what is now AA's DWH hangar.
They had no union there and they still decimated Atlanta. Could they just not have unilaterally forced new workrules and payrates on the mechanics?

How is it exactly that you can claim to speak for every single PMDL employee?
BTW, you do know that campaigns for for ACS and Inflight were going on at DL before the merger, right?
Only dissent at DL right now comes from former NW employees who are still represented by the AFA and IAM.
And the statistics of reduction in the number of employees in the decade leading up to the DL-NW merger.
AA and CO, both around 25% (due to lack of filing for BK - CO grew into its reduced workforce, AA still has too many people for an airline of its size
DL- 37%
NW 40% - and those cuts disproportionately fell on the mechanic ranks
UA and US -both around 50%.
All of the airlines except for AA ended the decade with similar levels of productivity - amount of work performed per employee - at a system level.
At the behest of AMR's defacto wholly owned subsidiary, the Totally Worthless Union, employment numbers are being kept high to provide the dues income necessary to pay for the perks of the International kiddies, jeopardizing the jobs of thousands.I can't tell what years you are comparing (the past decade or the 10 years ended with the year of the DL-NW merger?), but AA has reduced its workforce substantially in the past decade (2001-1010).
The average number of mainline fte employees in 2001 was 105,800 and the average number of mainline fte employees in 2010 was 65,500, for a reduction of 38%. The average number of AA mainline fte employees in 2011 won't vary substantially from 2010 at the current pace. The AA numbers can be found in the year-end earnings releases from January 16, 2002 and January 19, 2011.
Of course AA still has too many employees for its revenue and its network, but it's not accurate to claim that AA hasn't downsized its employee numbers by similar percentages to the other network competitors.
