Fine. Relative (ratioed) seniority with two airlines that had similar equipment. No difference.

Your perennial whining about pull and plug is what's silly. It was a few hundred guys. Your side correctly worried about what would happen if those guys didn't retire and stayed til 65. Instead, that number of guys retired early months after the SLI was printed. Since then, over double that number have left early...exactly what we told the arbitrator would happen. But the arbitrator didn't buy it and only gave us partial credit for those guys. That's what happens when you lose.

Life goes on. But I hope you don't have these discussions around fNWA guys. Kicking sand in the losers' face is unwise.
