Wasatch,
Let me reread your post a couple of more times to fully get a feel for your positions then I'll respond......if my wife doesn't drag me off to lunch (ouch ouch my ear).
The first thought off the top of my head is we are not ComAir. We're just a smaller version of you, we just fly in a different parts of the world. Please keep that in mind too.
Also, relative seniority and equipment leveling are different from the ratio I hear we are discussing. We are a smaller pilot group so depending on the ratio, you either run out of NWA guys towards the bottom of the list (probably where the Delta "those bastards are trying to staple us" scare came from) or RS goes out the window.
Interesting times. I'll just remind you that if this was easy, it would be done already.
All the best,
Ferd
NWA
