For now I think we are done, but if the economy remains flat, it would be a good leveler.

Add me to that list - I thought the "pull and plug" was the older FMS on the 757.:)

Scoop

Pull and plug, that sounds dangerous!

Oh bull. It is not an opinion, the pull and plug is indeed a fact, and misunderstood by you. This PRP did not negate the 274. NWA pilots got the benefit from their retirements from day 1. You are just not smart enough to realize it. The pulls were "retired" from the NWA list prior to the creation of the merged list. Therefore, the benefit of their "retirement" was immediate as with them in the list everybody junior to less would have had a more junior ratio. So there was benefit there, and the when they actually retired after being plugged back into the list at their respective seniority again, dal pilots AND nwa pilots move up. In effect, NWA pilots benefit TWICE from the pull and plug for every "pull" senior to them. That IS how it works. It is NOT opinion. You WERE called out, and wrong.

Stop being a crybaby, man up, and admit you are wrong

Enough! Take it over to the M&A section where you can argue for the rest of your career on this. ITs over. It is what it is. Argue at your hearts content but read the title of this thread "Latest and Greatest". There is nothing Latest or Greatest about this. So quit hijacking the thread on who's shlong is bigger or how you've been wronged or what side benefited more by .25%.

Go reintroduce yourselves to your wives. They probably would welcome their "man" back in their life.

The more I read this thread, the more I'm starting to think that this is US Air all over again. All we need is a catalyst to start the fire.

While I respect your opinion, I disagree.

This forum, along with FlightInfo, JetCareers, and the ALPA forum among others, represents the opinions of a very small minority of the pilots from the new Delta. Each forum has its own "hot button" issues based on the demographics of the folks that participate on it. I have heard very little negativity in the south pilot lounge. All my interactions with North line guys have been positive. Even with the benefit of anonymous pseudonyms, this forum has been relatively civil regarding the issues of SLI. There are a few that can't or won't ever "get it", but even they are the minority here. In comparison to Western and Pan Am, or Republic-Northwest this is nothing...

Yes, there could be a catalyst to change our current success story. As long as we muddle through with a better story to tell than any other full service network airline, I think we'll be fine. If the economics change and the merger becomes punitive, then maybe not so much. But right now there's nobody in the business that can show better results, especially in comparison to where either party would have been in standalone operations.

Just my opinion, and I'm probably wrong. It's glass half full time, and I still see beer flowing from the tap.:)

Jeez Slow.....Why you gotta go and be nice AND logical with everybody! :D

You seem like such a good communicator, DALPA could use the help of a guy like you!!:p

Now that is very humorous. I do not care who you are.

I am sure our DALPA communications specialist is busy typing up the minutes.......:D

I thought we agreed to agree with you.
