600 FNWA guys have taken early outs, yet I've only moved up 140 numbers since the SLI. (I'm at 12% on the list)
It seems to me that the majority of the pull and plug guys are still here, and a large number of guys that took the early outs were fairly junior.
Also, a good friend of mine-- pre merger Delta-- left during the first early out program. He was one of many PMDL to do so.
I don't want to rehash the seniority debate, but I have to raise the BS flag on this post.
