If NWA survives, it should be strong

My "back of the envelope" math may be off by one or two planes, but should be fairly accurate.
 
Well PTO, looking over the fleet count I see that NWA is flying approx 2/3 of the number of aircraft now as compared to pre BK. And you claim the MEL count is a little less now than pre BK? What does that tell me....judging by the fact that most of the "mtc pigs" are now inactive, looks as though you "hero's" are not doing such a bang up job? :p

If Northwest Airlines manages to avoid a destructive confrontation with its unions, industry experts say the airline would be well placed to survive and perhaps even thrive once it emerges from bankruptcy.

The airline heads back to U.S. Bankruptcy Court today as hearings resume on its request to cancel its union contracts with pilots and flight attendants -- moves the company says are necessary under its plan to cut $1.4 billion in costs. The unions contend Northwest's demands surpass what the company needs and have threatened to strike should U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper rule for the company.

Northwest, which employs 7,900 workers in Michigan, has said a strike could lead to its liquidation. But if Northwest and its unions reach an understanding without a strike, analysts say, Northwest should be able to emerge from bankruptcy relatively quickly.

"The prospects of Northwest surviving are excellent," said Terry Trippler, an airline expert and longtime Northwest observer for Cheapseats.com. "I think they'll come out of this a little smaller but a much stronger airline. ... Once this hearing is over, the worst is clearly past them."

Heard a much more interesting news story. It seems the analysts on Wallstreet say, that, out of the 10 major airlines, only Northwest will be steadily losing money. Quite a contradiction, eh?

This is just the perfect example of how biased you guys are and are unable to face the truth. Had I claimed that 613 minus 350 equaled 2/3rds of a fleet missing you guys would be all over it. Not when one of your union brothers makes such a blunder and attempts to spread his propaganda you guys hop right onto the wagon.

before strike after strike
3800 mechanics 800 mechanics
613 aircraft 350 aircraft
outstation mx performed no outstation mx
mel average 400? mel average 220?
 
If you would read my post, I stated that I believe the majority of mechanics worked in the shops and heavy vs line maintenance. I assume the number of line maintenance mechanics remained close to the same pre-BK vs current. You are claiming out stations performed no maint? Just exactly what did they do?

How many mechanics did NWA have working line before the BK?
 
Mainline fleet totals:

Pre-strike: 441

Post strike:350

Simple math says the fleet is roughly 25% smaller now than it was in June (the Pre-strike list I used was valid as of 30.june.05).

A lot more than they do now. They operated 5 zones here and now only three. We hauled so many empty lockers out of here it was unreal. I would say close to double the number, maybe even three times.
