Flare - You are sure right. I'm already getting the interview lined up for option 2. But whenever I admit that the NWA guys get angry.

It is true, Delta was a First Choice, NWA wasn't even a consideration. The second choice job I passed up might be a whole lot better than a DAL/NWA combo platter.

With regard to the furloughs, NWA has a flown down to Compass / Mesaba. Not that I'm wanting to go back, but wonder if that would be preserved with a list that is 2/3rd's larger? I just thought it was dumb that ALPA did not staple the ASA/Comair guys and protect the Delta pilots with One List. There were four times the number of DCI pilots hired as there were DAL furloughs and the two numbers were related to some degree.
