I don't want to start a food fight and reopen the SLI here but, it looks to me, that any 777 deliveries within the 5 year fence that are not deemed "replacement" aircraft, would be fenced as would be any 747 and 787 positions added within the 5 years. Here are the relevant "conditions and restrictions" that I think apply here:

4. For the period of five (5) years beginning with the first bid period after the issuance of the Single Operating Certificate (SOC), no pre-merger Northwest
pilot may be awarded or displaced to a vacancy on a B777 aircraft or category and no pre-merger Delta pilot may be awarded or displaced to a B787 or B747 vacancy.
5. Should the merged company take delivery of any aircraft which is/are a replacement of any aircraft covered by Paragraph 4., the captain positions and, as applicable, the first officer positions on each such replacement aircraft will be allocated in accordance with the Paragraph 4. restrictions on the type it is replacing.
6. Paragraph 4. shall expire on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the SOC. Any bid awards or displacements effective after that date will not be subject to this restriction.


Am I not reading something correctly?
