I agree, eventually 100% of both lists will have attrited in one way or another.

The NWA/REP arbitration used the attrition "look ahead" to decide how long the fences should be. With Bloch saying they hoped to craft a list that the pilots could live with now and in the future, it leads me to believe they will look at the attrition equation in any proposal they are contemplating.

A modest fence on a ratioed list should allow the NWA pilots to enjoy the temporary bump in their attrition. Down the road, more DAL pilots retire than NWA pilots.
