Isn't that what DAL argued in the NWA/DAL SLI?
I'm a way low man on the totem pole so anyone coming in ahead of me will have a potential impact on my future, but I do agree that a relative percentage SLI with adjustments for fleet makeup/percentage wide to narrow would absolutely be fair.
The NWA/DAL SLI was a bit different than a DAL/JBU SLI. You had two like airlines, whereas with JBU that would be an airline that was started in the late 90s.
Logic would have it that considering they didnt exist, no 1998 person with a hire date that is on our list would have a JBU pilot in front of them. Relativity would be fine below that point.
I think the same argument holds for WN/FL... no WN pilot hired before the type when FL was started should have a single FL pilot in front of them.
DAL/HAL I believe Bloch would handle like the recent Pinnacle/Mesaba/Colgan list. The 767 CA slots would be integrated stovepipe method with us, 767 FO, then 717 CA integrated in the DC-9 stove pipe and 717 FO the same.
