Wiggy,

I agree with a lot of what you say. I don't think anyone has talked about the -200, it's just sad to see cargo go away as those are widebody jobs that all our young guys will probably never see again.

All I will say about your idea and why I don't think there would be an agreement about droping the fences, is take another look at the top of the list. The combined list puts lots of younger south guys above older north guys. While it happens over most of the list, it is a real problem towards the top. So, there will not be any interest of guys hoping to get on a widebody prior to the fences coming down.

I have no dog in this fight. I'm one of those mythical '95 hire north guys who moved up 3% on the combined list and all but beat DOH too.......yes I keep my mouth shut during discussions in the bar, beer mugs are hard.

Anyway, my 2 cents.........which wouldn't get you much in any store.
