No beer from Princess Leia, it's a fail.

BUT, I will say the whole reason that thing crashed (according to some overly loud pilot in the ATL lounge) is because the FADEC on the A320 will automatically shut down the running engine if the other one failed.

We'll keep with the X-Wing/Battle Star Galactica theme...

The irony, Oregon cheering hard for Auburn now that Ok St is out.

Absolutely, 100% correct. If it were a 737, the airplane would have been able to continue to CLT and Leia would have handed Sully a beer at the gate.

Ahhh award yourself a SciFi facepalm:

Battlestar is one word, just as Delta Air Lines is three...

So had there not been a claim of interference is it correct that the fNWA FAs would have been making more since integration would have taken place soon after the vote? If so, I'm curious how much the average FA gave up since the day they would have been integrated.

FYI. Back this summer there where 40+ pairings on the 88 each month. Also, look at the open time after the first or second PCS run... There will be a lot more than 3 94xx pairings in nyc 88 open time.

The AVERAGE fNWA FA doesn't care as they are scared $hitless of the company (think beat child syndrome). And, oh by the way, as pilots we are considered quasi company representatives (don't know why but we are) and not exactly trusted yet.......especially you southies.

Time to tread lightly my friends. This is time to redouble your efforts at team building, not to gloat that their union bit the dust.

Yes... I've talked to many who approve getting rid of the AFA but are just scared of not having a Union. The others are just so stuck in their ways and scared to step out of their box. The same can be said for many on the Delta side too. I honestly believe that when this is finally done it won't be that bad. Theres been NW FA's in the training dept for awhile now and I never heard of any issues.

As to all the crewrunner problems you guys are certainly welcome on any one I'm on. Unfortunately thats not often. It's always the one of thousands that ruins it for everybody... we all know who they are. The same ones that hoard leftover food from the airplane.

My idea would be to honestly hang a sign on the door of the lounges saying that you dont mind having them stay there but they need to share the wealth . Unfortunately that would probably just lead to them having some manager make sure no FA's ever stay in there.

Truth. It would be in horrible form to do anything but listen nicely and just let them get it out of their system.

The "let the kitty litter settle" comment had me laughing pretty hard, I've got to say.

I really haven't had the chance to sit down with too many of them, but on one occasion a while back when the captain was buying all the beer and wine and two took him up on his offer to join us downstairs well let's just say they opened up after their third cocktail. After all I heard from them I'd say they're probably surprised at this point that the earth hasn't opened up and swallowed them whole now that they don't have their union. I mean they were that convinced.
