Nwa Disp
The new APA came out, did anyone notice the high amount of DISP to ANC SO. I thought they were trying to grow MSP SO. 70 SO RSV in ANC? Is this just waiting pool until they decide to make cuts?

I heard from a friend over there that NWA is parking 33 DC-9's, 10 757's, and like 3 747F's. But I haven't seen anything "offical". So if true, I guess it would mean alot of movement from base to base and maybe some furloughs.

Those moves are surely a holding position until whether NWA is awarded DAL work rules or not; if not then those moves clearly indicate initial furloughs. Keep in mind that they can furlough from the bottom of the 9 and 320 as well.

it was a trickle down effect. The displaced 9 captains that have been displaced took mostly bus and 757 FO slots thus making the adjustments. The good thing is that they stopped hiring and supposedly already planned for most of the reductions. Remember a surplus of first year FO's is cheaper to keep around than furloughing people back to compass or mesaba. Any furloughs would be short term because of the soon to be new DAL staffing and work rules as well as the new planes coming on both sides. We shall see.

Also there are currently 120+ "gummers" flying past 60 right now probably waiting to see about the equity. If those guys would have punched out then this wouldnt have happened. Hopefully once the merger goes through these guys will get their money and retire. If there ends up being furloughs it will be predominantly because of these guys who have nothing better to do then fly till they die . Fingers crossed they will get their money and run

Excuse me i meant the "NEW DAL STAFFING AND WORK RULES" that neither you nor I know the details of yet. We will find out the details soon. So hold off on your "bubble bursting", glass half empty comments

what makes delta staff their airplanes with more pilots than nwa?
I know your holding out for delta rules which means 400 more pilots (as stated on these boards) but what happens if you are closer to nwa rules wouldn't that mean delta could be over staffed rather than nwa understaffed?

do you think that the new delta staffing could be closer to nwa rules rather than deltas?
