But back to your issue, just so others on this board understand the DC issue:

NWA had a DC plan when the merger occurred.
DAL had a DC plan when the merger occurred.

The JCBA gave EVERY pilot on the list identical DC raises (1% in 2010, 1% in 2011, and 1% in 2012) to those DC plans. Then on 12/31/12, the NWA and DAL plans are harmonized by giving another 3% to the NWA side.

A DAL-S guy could easily argue HE'S on a c-scale, as he doesn't get that 3% raise on 12/31/12.

A DAL-N guy could easily argue HE'S on a c-scale because he's getting ZERO under the targeting plan. Sure, he has a pension, but what's that worth? And who's to say that's worth more at age 60 than your DC?

A DAL new hire could easily argue HE'S on a c-scale, because he got hired a short time after you did, but he didn't get merger equity.

And on, and on, and on...
