Good job New. :D

Carl

You left out one important detail about that DOH arbitration award...

Not to mention it's been said many times that the NWA/Republic merger was the way NOT to merge a pilot group.

I hope you are offering those panties in a size 28, otherwise you'll soon find yourself sued by the FA union.........

Yep that would be fair:D

Again, what's been said isn't the issue. A previous poster said that he couldn't imagine DOH even being considered, much less considered fair. Our previous merger was an example of DOH. Most of the previous mergers were DOH. Prior to the NWA/REP merge, ALPA merger policy was DOH and fix inequities with fences. ALPA merger policy was stated as the reason Roberts went with DOH. I was simply stating history. Whether one can imagine it or not, is a different issue.

Carl

Yep:) I was just making sure that the 20 year fence was mentioned.

Bold and red for emphasis added

Carl, ALPA policy has changed in the last two decades, we were integrated based on the current ALPA policy, as was agreed to by both sides.

The credit for future advancement (pull and plug) is the only thing that was given to the DAL-N side. Many on this board said that it would take forever for those 270+ guys to actually retire because of age 65, and the fact that nobody in their right minds would want to retire from the new Delta. One PRIP later (plus the normal retirements we've had), and all 270 are gone. Before SOC. And as such, the only advantage given to the DAL-N pilots is now gone.

Carl,
I do not understand the above statement. I would think all pilots junior to the PRIPs will benefit from their accelerated retirement. This includes Pilots form both North and South. This might also help to minimize or even prevent furloughs to the junior dudes on both sides.

[QUOTE=Scoop;647544]I'll explain it for you. Carl just has to have something to be ****ed about. He doesn't let the facts get in the way through such action. He says that the Delta plan was adopted, therefore Delta won. Not true. Delta's original plan had me much more senior than I am. Plus, in a never before utilized tool, there were a number of pull and plugs, if you will remember. That means that those 270ish were pulled, with NWA pilots filling in their gaps, the list created, and then the guys were re-plugged back in. That means that NWA guys got to move up those numbers, and then got to move up again as those guys retired. Delta guys move up only as those guys retired. Get it right.

Fortunately, there are more level heads than not in this merger, and most people realize that it is what it is and are ready to move on. A few exceptions remain.

FWIW, he always sits in Coach. He does it so that he can check out that product first hand. He also travels alone a lot of the time. (No minders)
