This is where it get's confusing again. Ratio is different from RI which is different from DOH.
Depending on the ratio, you run out of NWA guys towards the bottom of the list. Probably where the "they want to staple X number of Delta guys to the bottom" came from. Change the ratio to better smooth flow us across the eitire list and SI goes out the window.
So, this was my origional fear and why I was against the merger in March when it first came up. The math get screwey (is that a word?) and why this wasn't done in an afternoon!
What was the Delta vs NWA ratio proposals? 7000ish divided by 5000ish is appx 1.4ISH.....how is that for a business major's math?
