The point is if positive attrition due to retirements is an equity (which by the way, it has never been recognized as one in the past) then negative attrition due to aircraft retirements should be a negative equity factored into the equation. You can't take ownership of one and not the other. Any list that uses the equity of attrition to place one subset of the group ahead of another must also account for the negative attrition equity also.
Here's the problem with your argument. We still have DC9s(60+). They're still flying. There's NO OFFICIAL plan to park them in your phantom 5 year time period. Therefore, it's unjustified to put the so called "responsibility of the furlough jet" on NWA pilots. They're STILL FLYING. WE'VE FURLOUGHED NO ONE!!!!! Show me the press release that says they're all being parked. That's right, there isn't one.
