Check Essential,

While it's hard to be completely objective on this, I have to agree with you. Republic got the seniority numbers, and Northwest got the fence protections from being displaced. Seniority numbers can't be arbitrated or interpreted. A series of conditions and restrictions CAN be parsed and dissected by one side who seeks to gain adavantage after the SLI.

My "objective" advice to Delta pilots is to fight hard against any SLI that is so unbalanced that it requires complex fences. Maybe fences for a year or two but nothing more. Whatever the pilot's final seniority number, it should speak for itself.
