Under the Delta plan, he only loses 2% to 38% and I bet his bidding opportunities are actually better after SOC. Conversely, 2 different Delta guys lose 7 and 9% under the NWA plan but under the Delta plan, they gain only 1% and zero% under the Delta plan

You're leaving out the key point, the FENCE is the ONLY way that list can be presented. Those guys have a gain in Seniority in only a seniority # discussion not in career progression. Career progression wise those pilots on both sides have the same career advancement they have right now. The % during the fence is irrelevant thus the point of the fence. When the fence is over the list is equaled out and actually the DAL side will hold the top of the list.
