Dude,
10-13 years at NWA gets you left seat of the 320 or DC-9....
We also have more likely retirements that any other pilot group because our senior guys screwed the rest of us and still have their full pension. They will make less money for every year they stay past 60, so a lot of them will retire on time. Combine all of that with the 787's that are coming (if they ever come), you might see that NWA is bringing something to the table if there is a merger....
