The former DAL/NWA merger committees could not agree on a seniority list. They agreed to submit it to binding arbitration under a 3 man panel. The panel issued an award. In that award were conditions and restrictions, including fences. The MEC could no more eliminate the fences than it could move the seniority numbers of the DC-9 pilots and place them at the bottom of the list.

Any merger/SLI award differences and disagreements are not handled by the MEC. They are handled by the now independent pre-merger pilot group's designated merger representatives. They are funded from their own sources (pre-merger assessments). They make their own decisions. They each have their own respective legal counsel. The MEC has no input into their independent processes with the 3 arbitrators in the interpretation of the binding SLI and its conditions and restrictions.

One would think you would have learned from the Red and Green show...and your backhanded slam intimating "self interest" among the MEC is reprehensible.





Slow is right guys, lets get over the Fences! They are part of the SLI - that ship has sailed. Saying I don't want fences is useless - we have fences, they are part of an arbitrated agreement that we both agreed to. It is what it is. Unless you are going to bid the 777 or the 747 it dosen't matter. Bring on all the 747s that we can buy - give them all to the North guys - who gives a crap - we will all benefit. Buy more 777's and give them to the south guys, once again the 80% of guys who don't fly either should not lose any sleep on this issue. Newsflash guys - its over and the fences are here - move on. If you want to discuss missed opportunities - how about age 65.
