PS
Fences are very common to mergers, its not "out there".
Capt.,
Do you think RA is going to accept massive 10 yr. fences which complicate his ability to efficiently deploy his aircraft AND crews where marketing deems best? Yes, he has the power to reject any SLI that unduly harms the efficient deployment of his aircraft and crews. Finally, what retirements are you referring to? I believe its been shown that only a few hundred Delta guys who retired early 4-6 yrs. ago would still be on the property. An urban myth. The fences are in place to try an manipulate the DOH proposal into something that 2 out of 3 arbitors would agree on. At what point do we stop looking forward as previous carriers and take the good with the bad as one company? This has all been hashed and rehashed but future orders and future aircraft retirements being treated as "uncertain future events" could really negatively impact pre-Delta pilots at the top and the bottom of the list but pre-NWA guys want full credit for their retirements in the form of DOH and large fences. There has got to be a better way. Relative position/seniority with adjustments is more fair and easier to adjust, imo.
BTW what is ...............?
