Numbers Games???? What???
YOU and other DAL pilots have made SPECIFIC claims that NWA retirements screech to a near halt in 10 years just as DAL retirements are ramping up.
I provide cold, hard, numbers that show that is 100% wrong and I'm accused of playing numbers games?? GMAFB!!
NWA retirements actually ACCELERATE starting in 10 years. Your D@mn right we want credit for the 24% of our list that retires due to age 65(many going before that, but I agree, 65 is all that can be officially counted). DALPA's proposal seeks to nullify that attrition.
Really hilarious how you guys spout BS as fact and then divert and deflect when called on it.
The point was that the 10 year fences protect the majority while they are still on the property and "they" don't care what happens after that point. It doesn't affect "their" position or QOL.Right, just in time for the fences to drop, and NWA pilots benefitting from Delta retirements whilst NWA's retirements stagnate. Kinda of a heads I win, tails you lose.
I was getting to the fact that NWA proposed a dynamic list for some period of time which ironically would become static as Delta retirements are on the rise. Thus NWA enjoys the peak time for NWA pilots and Delta pilots are left in the cold. Yet when Delta catches up in the retirement department, the dynamic stops and NWA gets to enjoy Delta peak retirements as well. Interesting.
Meanwhile, Delta pilots devise a program at the request of the arbitrator which takes into account a retirements at NWA and effectively changes a dynamic list into static somewhat. I believe they used an example of low 100s for the pull out number. Interesting. It also subverts some other things NWA was attempting to sneak past.
Regardless, we just had a substantial AE out, and I need to go look at that.
Brilliant! You figured it out! The point is....THEY don't care....not everyone else left after that.Yes, but it effects everyone else that is left after that.

No...they are not necessarily the ones representing me, THEY are just a very large chunk of our seniority list that would be unaffected should there be a 10 year fence/pull out/put in/or anything else that happens after the 10 yr point. They just don't care much about that horizon.And these are the people that are representing you? Oh boy!
everyone will benefit from the retirements from both sides regardless of how the SLI is established. Positions may be blocked out for specific sides but EVERYONE moves up a number when someone retires. Plus the DAL side doesnt want to fly any of our aircraft remember? So why should they care if our positions are locked out?
Bottom line is we all will benefit from every retirement regardless of the side that retirement comes from.
On a positive note:
PS. OU is owning Texas Tech right now!! Tech is getting what they deserve after beating my Horns!! :angryfire
