it all depends on how they would fall in line with some kind of ratio. just because delta started hiring 8 months before nwa should they have 30 years of benefit? would it be right for people who were to retire in the top 5 at nwa to end up in the 300-500 range. that doesn't seem like a fair deal to them just because delta started their hiring alittle sooner that nwa.

if you use your logic on the new hires you should also use that logic on the senior pilots because I'm sure that NWA has guys who have been around longer than the senior delta guys.

new hire nwa pilots were expecting a lot of retirements compared to delta. the delta new hires will also benefit from the older pilot group at nwa.
