Headstrong/NWAFA/Marco Polo-If I remember correctly, if a majority of FA's rejected the AFA, there would have been no union representation-Am I correct?

Don't flame me NW attendants, I respect what you do and wish the hard workeing flight attendants made more money.

I personally hope that if NW has to merge with anyone it is with DL. I wouldn't look forward to lack of upgrades on AA since I'll never fly enough to be ExPlat.

However, the first one to merge will set the ball rolling as I'm not sure that CO could stand alone if either DL/US or NW/DL go through.

Does anybody know if the golden share goes away if NW acquires someone? I'm pretty sure it goes away if someone acquires NW. I think NW would like to get their hands on CO Mike in exchange for the golden share.
