Dont know Gents......have you read the newspaper recently, Jet fuel costs are sky rocketing, most of the major US carriers are in deep Sh*t filling for bankrupcy etc, unless this fuel price comes down soon its difficult times ahead for all, not just NW.
Besides NW have survived many a crisis and if track records are anything to go by will survive this one too,
VB must be a good businessman to last this long where so many others have failed. NW does pay horrible salaries, but every time a pilot or cabin crew member leaves there are 10 others to fill there shoes. Without an effective union that are willing to stand together
VB can do what he likes when he likes.
