This of course begs the question. Are the fNW recall rights still valid?
s part of the 1993 concessions, NWA MEC allowed the entire NYC 744 base to be moved without any bids or displacements. There will be lots of DALN folks bidding NYC744.
It also brings up another question. The FMNW pilots have filed a grievance claiming that since the 777 is flying many former NWA routes in DTW it should not have been fenced and is a replacement aircraft.
If the NWA pilots are going to continue with that grievance then it stands to reason that the same thing applies to the 747 in NYC which will be flying Delta routes. It should not under that logic be a fenced aircraft. The bid should be a open bid.
