I agree. A fence unfairly locks someone out. A good deal for one and a bad deal for another.
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.
And the NWA proposal unfairly moves the DAL pilot back a signifigant %.
If you now sit at X% on your senority list a fair SLI will have you at the same % afterwards. Who cares what date someone else was hired if your % place and their % place on the senority list remains the same after SLI.
