I see things are heating up since the Delta pilots came up with that unreasonable seniority list. I can't wait until we come up with ours on Monday. I wonder how we will come up with a rationalization fror putting EVERY Delta pilot junior to some NWA pilot who was hired after him?

(We did have a lot more cash on hand than you did.)
(We did buy Compass for ALL of us to have a flow back to.)
(They say that we might make a profit this quarter.)
(And I am using the word "we" in a very general way, because I realize that I don't own ANY of this stuff. I just fly 'em.)
Let's hope the Oracle can come up with a seniority list that we can all live with and that all of us are unhappy with.

I have believed up until this time that I understood the process quite well and it involved the MEC making the most of a bad situation (eroding scope) and incorporating flowthrough/flowback protection to make that situation slightly better.
I never ever read anywhere that NWA, Inc. purchased the airline that they started in bankruptcy so that pilots could have 344 slots to flowback to if they ever needed to.
