One could argue that even though we are parking a lot of DC-9's the lower caps in the other fleets makes it a wash. Right?
The DC-9 pilots aren't being displaced off the property. They are just going to other positions.
In effect, isn't NWA just shuffling pilots from the DC-9 to other aircraft, the same as Delta?
So far, both airlines have stopped hiring and neither airline is furloughing. It's the same 7200 at DAL & the same 5300 at NWA. (Well, maybe fewer at NWA. We've had some retirements over the past few months you know).
