WF,
Welcome back - it was getting awfully lonely here. I fully agree with you, will definately not like to work for SAX. The same as SAA as I see it.
Merger and the salary negotiations at Airlink - never connected the two. Have been told that there's more happening as well at Airlink. But maybe we should wait that one of the Airlink heavies gets on here to give us the white hot gen. Come on guys, give us the hotties.
