The only pilots stapled on the list were the Professional flight engineers who were not ALPA and did not have pilot bidding rights. No pilots were placed after pilots not hired. When the 727's were retired DALPA was successful in convincing the company to allow the PFE's to bid to pilot seats. They granted a leave of absence to any who wanted to obtain a commercial ticket. To say they were interesting to fly with is a understatement.
All pilots who came over to Delta when the Pan Am assets were purchased came on a voluntary basis. They could bid over to fill the A310 and 727 seats or remain at Pan AM. The seniority was known in advance with the A310 pilots slotted in with the 7ER pilots and the 727 pilots slotted in with the 727's at Delta. The PFE's were stapled at the bottom of the list on the date the purchase was complete. The method of integration was a prenuptial agreement prior to the purchase being finalized.
Sailing, when did Dl have etops cert for the 76 for transatlantic flights? I do not know about the PFEs I was commenting about those that were hired in 78 (PAA/NAL) and they were merged in with DL 88 and 89 hires. Like the court said, Delta took full advantage of Pan Am's financial misfortunes, giving Plaintiffs the unenviable choice of joining Delta as second-class citizens or hanging on with Pan Am, which had already filed for bankruptcy. While we sympathize with the pilots who were impaled on the horns of this dilemma, we can find no actionable misconduct by the defendants.
The original question was: How'd you guys place the Pan Am guys? Or NW guys?
