The fence dropping won't cause any more movement than there is now. The same number of openings will be filled by the same number of pilots, resulting in the same amount of training, regardless of lineage.
Now if DAL was to move aircraft AFTER the fence comes down, you're right. Which is the obvious reason why they will not do that. If they wanted the 747 in ATL, it would be much cheaper and easier to do it before the fence falls.

Sounds like a large % might leave this summer which might be part of the reason to hire instructors now.

I was thinking more that instructors would be leaving to get on the equipment while they can. They can elect to go where ever their seniority holds when leaving the training department, but after the fence falls they might not be senior enough to jump on.

Forgive me, but how is that possible if the pay rate on that jet has increased by some amount?

My understanding is that the valuation includes all changes to the PWA, which means it does NOT include items such as decreases to the value of our 401(k) when the market tanks, increases to the non-contractual medical plans should we choose to use them, etc. FWIW, I've used over half my sick leave, voluntarily verified those instances in which I used medical care (much to the chagrin of my CPO, I might add), and have NEVER felt compelled to fly while I was sick.

The PWA added ADG and computer training rig and increases in daily vacation and training pay increase pay v. productivity.
I'd love to see your situation 'cuz I find it to be an outlier, but I'm open to seeing how it could have happened.

Most guys I fly with have expressed surprise with how much MORE they made in 2013 vice 2012.
The 8.26% will be in the 2014 W2. He said his 2013 W2 was less than his 2011. His 2013 W2 included the 6.67% of pay PS, do you know off the top of your head what the PS payout was in 2011?
