If there are people junior to him in those seats (red book)and people senior to him waiting to bid them(green or red book) he may never get there at nwa.

It sounds like he doesn't want fences because he knows where ever he ends up on the SLI he could at least hold the 767 international.

Yeah... maybe.. but that isn't uber premium flying though... :p

I love my mini van

well then you guy's shouldn't really care, right...;)

Actually I do care Eric, but before I make my statement, I am going to preface this with the fact that there is NOTHING I can do to prevent or influence anything that is going on in the hearings and/or negotiations. That being said: I do care since NWA doesn't have anything that is comparable to the 767ER in their fleet; which means that whether we go DOH or relative seniority or alphabetically or by height, narrow body NWA captains will be able to hold widebody international seats whereas they could not before. We can argue till the cows come home about the similarities/differences between the 747-777 and the 330 -767-400. But the fact is that NWA has nothing in the same weight/speed/seat makeup that compares to the 767ER. And frankly all that garbage about "super-premium flying" is laughable at best.. sad at worst. I find it amusing, hence my uber premium comment. It has no substance. :rolleyes:

Tsquare,

But now that the adjective Kings are on our team think of the possibilities:

We can have Ricardo Montalban (if hes dead we will use holograms) talking about “The rich Corinthian leather, power adjustable seats” available to Pilots who fly the Uber-superior DAL 767ER on trans continental globe trotting luxurious 6 day European vacations (OK Work).

We have MR T “Pitying the fool” who doesn’t fly on the super duper extra special DAL 777’s when he jets off to luxurious destinations spanning various sub-Saharan Africa garden spots.

Welcome aboard Adjective Kings! :)

"Super Premium" - The gift that keeps on giving.

I find it entertaining that you are quick to dispatch the differences. It is obvious why you do so and I don't blame you, it just makes your discussions very transparent and weak.

I'm glad you see that. I would expect nothing less from a NW pilot since this whole argument started, the NW side has been nothing less than transparent and weak!;)

True, both groups are self serving.

Once the arbitrators announce their decision we'll see who was more transparent and weak. I'd be willing to bet there will not be a staple in their decision. any takers?

I'll be surprised if the final list differs significantly from relative seniority.

I agree. There won't be a "super premium" windfall with only 200 DAL pilots out of the top 1600, nor the bottom 400 being NWA.

And I bet it's negotiated.
