[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Paul Milenkovic</i> <br /><br /> <br />Terrible people these scabmechanics. Suppose these scabmechanics keep Northwest out of Chapter 11 and help other union people keep their pensions, or suppose they keep Northwest out of liquidation so, I don't know, Southwest doesn't take over their routes, where Southwest has an entirely different "labor agreements" (don't know if they are even union). I suppose that makes the whole of Southwests's labor force scabpilots, scabattendents, and scabmechanics as well. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Regarding your quote: <br /> <br />1. Just what exactly does Southwest Airlines have to do with a strike at Northwest Airlines?? <br /> <br />2. Southwest's hardworking line employees are union, many TWU, also ALPA, and would most certainly take tremendous offense at your characterization of them as "scabs". Particularly since they have absolutely nothing to do with either Northwest's labor troubles or Northwest's current approach to those troubles. In fact, with the exception of DTW, Southwest does not fly into either of NWA's other 2 fortress hubs, MSP or MEM. <br /> <br />3. Perhaps you should consider getting your facts straight before spouting off your peurile, unsubstantiated and inflammatory invective. <br /> <br />I do NOT work for SWA. Nor does any member of my family.
