King,

I would like to see you get the advantage of your retirements as well. My question is where do you draw the line as far as a date is concerned? (For fences)

The last time I checked I was to retire at about 185 on the Delta list. As an '88 hire and born in '58, I shudder to think what my "new" retirement seniority number will be under a DOH list. I haven't seen the NW proposed list that is making the rounds.

Looking at both our current lists, it looks like NW started hiring about 3 to 4 years earlier than DAL. I take you at your word that you don't want to take our positions. The reverse of that is true also, I do not want to take any of yours. But if the list does go DOH without huge, and I mean huge, fences, that is exactly what could happen. (IMO)


We are both part of two great airlines that will soon become the 800 pound gorilla......I can't wait to kick some.........tail!!!!

I'm with you, I wish this was all over and done with too!!!! I'm all for BBQ!!! I'll take the beef!! What the heck, I already have Mad Cow anyway!!!!!

Thanks again for the civil discourse, hopefully we will come out of this on the other side a strong, cohesive, and united pilot group.
