[quote=alfaromeo;380907]Carl a straight mathematical ratio or ratios is not an extreme position it is in fact the outcome of the last arbitrated seniority list (America West and US Air).

What if the process delays and Northwest pilots start to get furloughed when the freighters are parked and Delta is hiring pilots to fill 777-LR slots? What if a few more DC-9's are parked when Delta gets more 737-700's and MD-90's? How many pilots will get furloughed then. You don't think it could worse for your pilots, but it could get very much worse.

Alfa,
I agree that it can get worse for the NW guys but it can also get worse for us. I think the longer this drags out the less we will "all" get. I agree that DAL is in a slightly better position with a "planned" net increase in aircraft for now - that can quickly change. I would have preferred to stand alone - but that is no longer an option, so for all of our sakes the two MEC's better come up with something we can all live with.
