Any truth to this? I'd like to hope this is case. I've heard that it would only be DAL hiring out of ATL. It'd be nice if NWA did some hiring out of MSP until the SOC is done.

Tough to say exactly how the hiring would come down, but legally if any new people were required on the NWA side before a single operating certificate is issued, those people would have to be trained according to the NWA operating certificate. Whether DAL would hire and send folks to MSP or tell NWA personal department to do the hiring is the question.

As with other mergers that have done this they will be hired and put in seniority order as it is determined in the PWA. With DAL that is last four of your ssn. After that they would be put at the airline that their seniority can hold.
Nice try on the loaded question.

He explained his answer to the loaded question...newhires at DAL are placed in order of the last four of their social, since they all have the SAME DOH. Your initial class date is your DOH, therefore, 30 or so folks have the same DOH. DAL uses the last four to stack the 30 or so. It used to be age, but the lawyers got involved and quashed that.

It still doesn't answer the part about how you integrate pilots from two different companies that hire after the DCC. How will those guys be integrated?
