It would seem to me that if DAL new hires are flying 767's to Europe, then that flying must suck... There must be something about being the most junior of a crew of 3 or 4 over there that stinks. International flying is the easiest flying I have ever done. Here at NWA, international flying goes pretty senior.
Not trying to stir the pot. Integrating a seniority list has nothing to do with what you do with your seniority, ie what equip you bid. Seniority=time in the company...... Your argument is from someone who is junior. Guess what? Starting at the bottom has it's perils. Everyone knows that. If you are junior at DAL, you will be junior at the new DAL...
Status Quo... hmm... Fences maybe... Seat protections maybe.... That is about it. Senior pilots will be senior, Junior pilots will be junior no matter what they fly.
The flying is great. The problem is the reserve rules, and that affects about 50 in NYC I believe, and the same in ATL. The rest enjoy the flying. Also, some people don't want to go to NYC, even with a line----just like 99% of Delta pilots don't want to go to DTW. Maybe you like flying the DC9 to Dayton, the rest of us like Malaga, Spain layovers (NYC ER layover) and Venice, Italy (both ATL and NYC).
