Assuming the same age distribution for the top 20% (50% retirements in 10 years) as NK, with no merger, you should go from 10% current to 5% at the end.
If we go DOH, you will get about 170 NK pilots ahead. if NONE of those retire (not likely) and half of the JB above retire, you will go from 9% to 5%.
If we go RS, you will stay at 11% RS at day of merger. With 0% growth, half of the JB pilots ahead of you older than you , and EVERY single NK pilot above you younger than you (not remotely likely), you will retire at 8%, a maximum 3% loss vs DOH.
I am at 20% RS now and will retire at 10% RS if we don't merge.
If we go RS, at merger I will stay at 20%, and with 50% retirements will retire at 10%.
If we go DOH I will go from 20% to 38%, and with 50% retirements will retire at 19%, a minimum 9% loss vs RS.

All based on 0% growth, although we have deliveries scheduled for over 10% for the next 3 years (no use looking further), and your own merger proposal shows 3% growth for those years without the merger.

So with DOH my loss is bigger at the end by a decent margin, but it's mostly the first years where I go from senior line holder to commuting to just above reserve, and you will stay in the same spot.
Don’t waste your breath. We should be lucky they are buying us. It’s all over the B6 pages. Anyone in top 10% will get the exact schedule they want so who gives a rats @ss if your number 7 or 92. All they care about is their d1ck is bigger.

Ehh, it might be longer, but girth is what matters.

Where is the math for a 50/50 DOH/RS?

What I don't get, is that most (really all) JB who would clearly benefit from straight DOH on these boards are not trying to sell/push/convince that we use straight DOH. Virtually all of them are saying we should all share some pain and compromise. Yet there is still a persistent group of you guys pushing hard for straight relative seniority, not being willing to compromise or meet in the middle.

And you wonder why you got aggressive pushback on the JB forum?

With some exceptions, JB has a good pilot group. Everytime I've jumpseated on Spirit the crews have been fantastic. I look forward to flying with all of you if this comes to pass.

But neither side should be demanding they get the SLI formula that benefits them the most, without any regard or compromise toward the other group.

Current # - DOH - company - RS% - 50/50% - DOH%
435 - 03 - JB - 10 - 8 - 8
293 - 07 - NK - 10 - 17 - 25
2234 - 13 - JB - 50 - 45 - 40
1472 - 17 - NK - 50 - 57 - 63

Total 7400, every 1% moves you up/down 74 spots.

I have 600 ahead at NK so at 20%, and 200 of those will retire in the next decade, so I will retire at 13% (0 growth) .
For me at 50/50 I would end up at about 2150, if nobody at JB retires I retire at 26%. For me to get back to 13% in 10 years, 1000 out of the 1500 JB pilots ahead of me would have to retire. I know most of those were hired ahead of me, but I don't think 66% off your top 1500 will be gone in a decade.
The JB guy at 20%, goes to 17% with 50/50, so gets 390 NK ahead. 130 of those retire, so in 10 years he will be at 15% before any JB guys retire. If I take the same 66% retirements for JB to get me back, he will retire at 8%.

So depending on how many people at JB retire in the next 10 years, a 20% JB ends up between 15 - 8% seniority, a 20% NK will end up between 26 - 13 %.

Without a seniority list with DOB I cannot forecast how much the 4 year hire difference will make in 20 years or for other percentages on the list, but for the 10 - 20% RS people IMHO 50/50 still slants towards JB.

Straight RS would give an unfair edge to NK (at least at 20%) with Seniority between 18 - 14% for NK and 22 - 16% for JB.

FWIW....

What formula or method doesn't slant towards Spirit?

Super false… I drop everything every month during initial open time. Granted I hold weekends off, weekends and holidays are tougher but it’s no “myth”.
