Your right Slowplay. We NWA guys should just roll over and get stapled on the bottom of your list. You saved us from a fate worse than death by this merger. Why should our guys try and protect jobs...how selfish.

Both sides came out swinging.

I could just as easily take stabs at Delta's side of us parking 9's, even though we are staffed properly. In fact we are staffed short by 350+ pilots according to the new contract. What credit do we get for that, some phantom pilots perhaps.

Or scoffing at the 747-200's. Yes they are old but guess what the ones running the mil charters are the highest, I will say it again, the highest revenue airplane at either airline. The gov't pays the gas bill and a per person boarding fee for the charters.

Also aren't the MD-80's getting a little up there in age, what about the 767s.

There are warts and roses at each company. It is the job of both sides to fight for their jobs. Let's just get through this and hope we can come out the other side on the same team with limited infighting.

Here is my bet on what happens for the SLI. It will be date of hire with a 5 year fence.

Now if both sides agree to no fences then it will be a straight ratio. 7 Delta 5 NWA.

There will be people that ***** at either one of these from both sides but they are probably the most "fair"
