No hostility.

Just a recognition of what many Delta pilots knew was certain to happen. I don't think it's a stretch to say that the older 747's and the 9's at some point in the not to distant future will be phased out. Delta, as was posted above is taking deliveries (right now, 3 777's this month). It's also not a stretch to say that FNW guys will migrate south.

If the company is shrinking, displacements will happen. Therefore, if that happens, it is also probable that Delta folks will end up in MSP or DTW due to displacements. If the company wasn't shrinking then this really wouldn't be an issue.

This is a result of the merger, it's nothing personal, Im not trying to stir the pot. From a Delta guy's point of view it does seem that the NWA folks make out pretty good from the displacement standpoint. Im also sure that Im not seeing points that you guys have on this.

No hard feelings
