I would say that being reserve on the big iron as you put it is not something that I want to do or more correctly being junior on that particular piece of equipment. Plus the fact that I will probably have to stick around until 65 now does not make me happy either. Boils down to quality of life and dollars, could care less about which piece of iron I am flying. You can't tell me that number 1500 has the same quality of life as 360 when you retire. Did not really want to go here but don't care to hear about how fair the percentage deal was. Life goes on and this had nothing to do with the south guys it was in the hands of an arbitrator. This will make you happy, I was hired in the second class at DAL in sep 85 so I would be around 350 now instead of 2700 plus. was at NWA for 4 days when the call came, 2nd question -are you employed at another major carrier? Should have lied I guess but the answer was: DAL policy we do not hire from other major carriers. Gotta laugh on that one.
