The post bankruptcy business plans presented in the first two days of hearings were most enlightening. One side was planning for growth and one side for contraction. The bottom of the list looks just about right.
Here's hoping that the combined company is as powerful and as vibrant as planned and hoped for so everyone rises.
There are ways of protecting the junior DAL pilots in the assumed event the DC9s are parked sooner than the 4+ years DAL has mentioned without stapling the bottom 10% of the NWA seniority list which will effect all 10% for the remainder of their careers. A fence could be established for X amount of years to protect those at DAL. By all means fence it up but short term protections dont compare to a Career of lost seniority because of a short term assumed issue.
