What if the #13 guy on a 12000 pilot list flies 73NA? What if that company merged with a company that only had 1000 pilots and only flew 737s? Would the smaller company's pilots be ratioed in from #13 on down?

The DAL 73N CA would have the career expectation (and seniority to currently hold) of holding 744/777 CA. The other guy wouldn't get any higher then 737 CA. So no.

Yes he would. However, that is where fences likely come in. Now, if we were swa...

Seniority lists are always stove piped in SLI discussions. Each pilot is place in the highest paying piece of equipment he can hold. That matrix is what is used for lists from both companies since it eliminates a lot of varibles and puts everyone on even footing.

if true, I learned something, thanks.

But wouldnt that move people on the multiple category list down the list from what they were holding "out of seniority order?"

Scambo,

I don't think it really matters what position any Pilot is currently holding - it matters how many positions the company has. For example if there are 1000 widebody Captain positions it is assumed that every Pilot down to 1000 is a widebody Captain.

In other words it would not affect the SLI if number 3000 is the wide-body plug because there are only 1000 positions not 3000.

I think this is basically what Sailing just said in different words.

Happy New Years All!

I think this would be an interesting topic to revisit if the Delta - Hawaiian talk picks up again. Will everybody have the same opinion when they're SLI'd junior to the 4 year 330 FO, or sub 10 year WB captain?

With only 400 or so pilots, I think it'd be a much easier integration. Not to say that there wouldn't be a lot of us ****ed off. Based on the radio calls I hear in the middle of the night going west to east from "Hawaii 50," we don't have a lot to be concerned about.
