I can see that it's having the effect of continuing the inequities of the Roberts award a little longer. What it's preventing, though, is guys like me (a 1987 hire DAL guy) from bidding SEA A330 captain, which I could have (and would have)
done, absent this LOA.
It seems like the intent was to fill the PRIP vacancies with pilots from their respective former airlines. The method of awarding positions to displaced pilots before advancing pilots has been in Delta's contract as long as I've been here, and it's certainly in the contract we now work under.
