Read the award. It is based off a ratio. Since NWA did not hire more than 150 guys post 9/11 and DAL hired nearly 750 it meant the bottom NWA guys would be closer to new-hires. It preserved everyone's respective seniority. That is the best we could have hoped for. No one group got a windfall. If DAL cancels the 787 award, the replacement aircraft is staffed for five years by NWA guys, even if it means its a 777 which DAL flies. No one group profited, no one group was the proverbial sacrificial lamb. No one group is elated, everyone pretty much sees the fairness. All in all its a decent list.
