Your argument is flawed. You want to protect current seniority, and not base it on what "might be" in the future. However, you also want to "protect" DAL guys from the rumor(or so called threat) that ALL the DC9s will be parked. Well, there will still be more than 400 pilots worth of DC9s flying after Christmas, so therefore there is NO NEED to protect DAL pilots. Any further DC9s parked will be AFTER the SLI. If you protect DAL pilots from the DC9s, you are doing it based on something that MAY happen in the near future. That of course is irrelevant, as we are making a list based on the NOW.
