In other words...the company got everything it wanted immediately. We have to wait 6 months for our upside. Outstanding negotiating. :cool:

I found this video of the negotiations...



Explains a lot. :D

Yep. Early '97 at NWA. Guy in front of me is a DAL mid '98 hiree. And there are some North guys, who are Capt's, that are surrounded by South guys 4 years (DOH) juinor.

It is what it is ............... Life's rough.............

The company had to wait to gain access until no later than Nov. as well to gain access to the new FDP tables in section 12. No AGD, no new FDP's.

That was excellent negotiating.

good post.
 

Yep yep yep...

Yes and there are South 91 hires junior to 95 North hires. Water under the bridge move along

Yes those North guys are known as the 3% cause that's how many there were. a lot more were like the long term 747 Capt's that got put in with the middle of the 757 or ER they call it. Amidst pilots hired 3 years or more after they were. Gold Standard Yeah.

Don't confuse the gold standard with The Gold Standard.

If you see your career stagnate, apply bicarbonate; at least you will be comfortable where you sit.

I know 2001 N hires are merged with first class 2008 S hires.

Dude......yes, we get it.
