... as Little John would say "WHAT!?!"Doesn't matter. The NWAALPA Neg Committee was able to get us all a raise, thank you very much, because we brought so much to the table.
DALPA---relative seniorty after the bottom 400 all NWA due to DC9s being smallest plane and lowest paid, plus some leaving the fleet. Delta pilots would move up 2% on average (from current relative percentage) due to those bottom 400 being all NWA.
So the bottom 400 NWA pilots should be stapled at the bottom despite most being hired 6 years before the Delta pilots?

Are they on planes that could go away? Can any of them hold widebody equipment? Are most of them flying the lowest paid plane in the company? Have you asked the bottom USAir East guy who has 17 years with USAir if he thought it was fair being placed next to the bottom AWA guy? It is called relative seniority, and the top 500 USAir East guys got the top 500 in the combined company too, since they had something AWA didn't have. NWA has something DL doesn't have also, planes leaving.

The 767 Captain's I fly with have about your DOH.
I think he answered your question in the affirmative and stated the reason why.
I'll ask you, If we merge with Alaska, should they get DOH on NWA equipment?
IMO yes they should......Longevity matters....despite what some who think they hit the jackpot by being at the "carrier of the day" think.....
Get over this "mine is bigger than yours" cr@p......
Longevity didn't matter to Nicelau. We don't have a national seniority list. Also, the 767 Captain makes $24 more dollars an hour than the DC9 Captain, which could be $29 if he/she flies INTL routes. That makes a big difference. The only airline that pays for longevity that has different sized planes here in the US is UPS I believe. Until we get the big bucks again like UPS or FEDEx, I don't think any of us will explore that concept.

UPS does it and so do many foreign airlines....make much more sense than our screwed up system......What is the logic in how many seats are behind the cockpit door....It creates these silly "size" issues.....
