The problem with the idea that people can keep thier seats is that management is going to move airplanes around. There is no such thing as no bump no flush when fleets start to move around the system. I think we need fences long enough to keep everyone on thier respective fleet until the aircraft movement among bases is complete.

On the NW widebody side, if they move fleets around prior to SOC, there will be an internal bump and flush due to the C&R from the previous merger award. SEA and DTW have a large number of former Red Book Captains on the widebody. Moving those aircraft out to say, ATL, would have the effect of displacing all the Red Book guys off the airplane and replacing them with former Green Book guys that are senior to them but were previously fenced.

Unfortunately, DALPA's reply to mgmt overtures tends toward, "You had me at hello".

Just remember though, you're getting about 5,000 cobras added to this "love affair." Anderson's going to have to hope he develops an immunity to cobra venom.
