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.
Agreed. I haven't seen the specifics and rationale behind the bottom of the list but I certainly understand the angst of NWA guys. However, the top of the list is even more agregious. Although it is purely my OPINION, I don't think a long, big fence is manageable, realistic or something this group wants to live under. One other thing... as an 87 hire, around 35% or so systemwide %, what can you hold? I am an Aug '88 hire, 22% and hold line holder 767 Capt but could hold a line on 767ER (intl) or junior 767-400 or 777 Capt. A big disparity compared to you guys.
