Let me make this as simple as I can:
If New Delta hires a class of pilots on Jan 1, 2009 to operate former NWA aircraft because SOC has not yet occured, and New Delta hires a class of pilots on Jan 2, 2009 to operate former Delta aircraft because SOC has not yet occured...which class will be senior to which? And more importantly...why?

Carl,
I think it would depend on how the arbitrators rule and how the hiring is done. If all the hiring is done in ATL and they go to brainwashing, I mean INDOC, in ATL they will be given a DAL seniority number and then can be sent to MSP for training. Everyone would start training in ATL for general corporate type stuff and they would be sent to MSP for flight training. This would however preclude different classes one day apart. But on the other hand the arbitartors may have different ideas. Only time will tell.
