The 30% pay increase spoken of is likely to end up being worth little more than the paper on which it is printed. When viewing contracts in the last ten years, all management has to do is furlough a few pilots and threaten bankruptcy and the concessions begin to roll. So the incentive to expedite a seniority list process winds up being hollow to many of those who have been around in the industry for the past ten years or so. The seniority list will be around for a lot longer than the payscale.
BINGO! The pay could be gone tomorrow, but the seniority stays. I care about seniority, and I'll take the equity stake(although that's probably out the window)

Your right that seniority is forever. Last week in LGA there were two Northwest pilots talking near the Comair gates. When they greated each other one asked the other what he was flying these days. He said he just bid over to the 757. The other asked how he sat on the 757 seniority wise. He replied that he was about the 50% point! He never mentioned his DOH which I found odd.

Not odd at all

There were job protections in the 2 Billion dollar package that the NWA pilots dismissed.
Fix scope. No need to furlough when large RJ's are hitting the property and even Steenland comes right out and says they are DC9 replacements.
