You made the statement, please explain your assertions.
On the other board the consensus seems to be that Delta pilots should have lost 2 positions and mid level NWA FO should be able to hold Captain. Others quickly pointed out that most 2007 Delta hires were displaced through two seats, unless they were already there by choice. The two mid to low seniority FO'S could hold Captain, but apparently not in the base and with the seniority they wanted.
The point was made that even by their own metrics, their outcome was better than they had expected at Northwest.
Still they want DOH. If they got that they got that they would want DOH plus an accelerator for attrition, without any regard for how much of NWA ' S network or fleet still exists.
In the absence of your response, can we assume you agree?
Bar,
I have no story. My concern is that going forward the 2000/2001 DOH pilots (group in the lucky 2007 hires) do not get put behind 2007 HA or AK pilots if a merger would happen.
Also, I am ok with the list, up to the point of 9/11 snap shot. In my opinion, pilots that got hired pre 9/11 should have never been put behind pilots who got hired after 9/11. It is my opinion. FTB, pointed the disparity out and I looked at the seniority list. This is not a N or S debate, this is a concern for the future. You and I are both Delta pilots, I am voicing my concern for a possible future merger.
By the way, I have no idea what the other board or positions are. Again, I am ok with the list pre 9/11. Post 9/11, from what I see, about 80 or so 2007 hires jumped ahead of DOH 2000/2001.
No story.
Have a great day. Dont let N or S bother you. We are all in the same boat. Lets protect it and enhance it when it comes to future mergers.
