I will say this. One of the negative possibilities does not involve pilots, per say.

Scratching my head over this one. Does not involve pilots per say... hmmm.


Are we making passenger planes into freighters? Just teasing. Still thinking...

Sounds like a non union group (no idea which, but I think there's problems with who handles NWA a/c right?) possibly getting a screw job to me.

Could be issues with the NWA MX. types.

The Northwest Mx types are currently non-union since AMFA is off of the property, but the ramp could be in for BOHICA.

Not the freighters, but the others are plausible.

At a recent line check airmans meeting it was put out that the Anchorage operation will be shut down and that all the 747's including the 400's will be off the property in 4 years. Replacement will be the 777-300LR. It has better cargo capacity on the really long haul flights and operates much cheaper.

The 777-300LR does not exist. Do you mean the 777-300ER?
