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

As an 87 NWA hire I agree with your viewpoint. I believe the 10 year fence protects the WB Captains only. 10 year fence is too difficult for the new DAL company to administer. (I've seen the diversity that a 20 year fence does to the pilot group ain't fun) Just give me a seniority number I can use and bid.
Having said that, the DAL proposal unfairly places the 2000-2001 hire NWA pilot below DAL 2007 hire. I'd be happy with a 're-visit' of the bottom of the list and accept the DAL proposal. My career expectations? A paycheck every 2 weeks.
