you are right. The only thing that is certain is where you are today. That's why the Delta proposal is right in line. Everyone ends up on the list with people who occupy the same kind of seats.

You wont see the NWA proposed list unless it leaks from the NWA side. The Delta pilots will honor the agreement to keep list submissions confidential. It would be damaging to our case to have the list leak out from our side. You should only see the final product.

How would it be damaging to your side? The DAL proposed list has been "out" for a while now. I think both sides list proposals should be seen by all so everyone will feel better about the final product once it can be compared to the other sides initial "proposal".

Super,
I think you'll find that the final product is a lot closer to the Delta proposal than the "Super Premium" Widebody, top 500 +DOH widely rumored to be NWA's proposal. JMHO. From the transcripts- Delta has almost twice the intl block hours than NWA wow!

Who knows? Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. I am 100% confident though that your side will look at our "proposal" just as we see your "proposal". That is to be expected. Again thats exactly why this is in arbitration. Both sides have their points of interest and both sides proposals will be viewed as the extremes. basic negotiating skills, start with extremes to better set the the middle grounds. we are all about to find out pretty soon how this will play out. After that hopefully we can all be on the same team fighting for the same things together

After seeing you guys proposed seniority list, I can tell you that a lot of NWA guys want our side to present a list that has something like having the top 500 NWA guys on the list. Since your side went out of its way to make sure your list had EVERY NWA pilot junior to someone at Delta that was hired after him. Hell, make it a thousand.

Super,
I appreciate the tone and civility but I really don't see how the Delta proposal is seen as extreme. Relative position with modifications for our aircraft orders and your possible aircraft parkings doesn't seem extreme. I have heard of NW guys figuring they stand to lose approx 1-4% on relative position under the Delta proposal and if you take most or all of that out in the final iteration after "negotiating", isn't retaining your current NW relative position at the new Delta fair and reasonable? Remember, because of our much higher % of widebody/intl flying than NWA, your retained relative position at Delta will be much more valuable, not to mention the payraises. I just can't understand how this could be viewed as extreme and totally unreasonable.
