Northwest Airlines Pilots to Vote on Strike

[avek00]

This is it in a nut shell. The pilots will beat their chests and say all the right things, but when it comes right down to it, they will not walk out.

Exactly - it is not in either side's interest to engage in self-help. I fully expect NWA and ALPA to reach an agreement, especially if NWA allows ALPA to staff "NEWCO" (using the term loosely) and throws in a sizeable equity stake w/BOD representation.

Borescope,

I have not heard that Northwest management is hiring and training pilot SCABS like they did with the mechanics..

Oh, trust me, they will.

Borescope,
Looks to me that management KNOWS the pilots will just roll over when it's all said and done...

Don't bet on it.

Borescope,
It would be nice to see ALPA take the whole SCAB infested mess down, But I doubt it.

That remains to be seen....
