A ten year fence does nothing but fence those aircraft. Either way, everyone moves up a number when someone retires regardless of which side that retirement comes from. The fence protects the movement in the near term that the DAL list doesnt provide. Just like your side wants protections for the aircraft you hold NOW. Are you saying you want credit for your sides aircraft, and OUR retirements?
It sure sounds that way.
I dont know if there will be a fence or not but your trying to down play near term movement on the NWA side. Bottom line is both sides have "wants" and whether either side sees those "wants" has yet to be seen. I personally dont really care how fast i move up the list in 10, 20, 30 years i want the most seniority in the shortest amount of time ala the NWA retirements.
