Nothing is going to work to put these two groups together as long as they are both with ALPA and are using current merger policy. The NWA guys will loose seniority and the Dal gang will benefit from Rel seniority. I do however have a solution to the problem. Call the merger off between DL and NW. Then Doug parker can sell US East to NWA. We are both older more senior groups with similar equipment and both groups would gladly take DOH. Then Doogie can sell the West to CAL or DAL or UAL or SWA and they can merge by doh or rel seniority because they are similar pilot lists as far as age and longevity goes. Then everybody can get along.
