I think most will tell you that they really like their DOH seniority number, but really hated the fence that only allowed them to share growth 1 for 1, and kept some seats protected for NWA guys.

If the 9's get parked the furloughs come from the NW side. If DAL parks 88's the furloughs come from the DAL side. I have said before this would allow much more flexiiblity with the bottom of both lists which seem to be a problem area.
You're right on this. It sounds only fair to me.

I do admit it. Our cherry picking is one of the weaknesses in our proposal if we are really interested in fairness. But, as I'm sure you know, the DAL proposal definitely leaves the cherry trees bare as well.
