Right where I expected to be.....Better than the NWA proposal and worse than the DAL proposal.
From the first looks of it NWA hogs the top of the list and I still haven't figured out this pull out plug in BS.
 
No "list" in the Award. It is described in the Award. 4 segments, with a straight ratio within each segment. 5 year (after SOC) fence on the 777/787/747. 274 oldest NWA guys "pulled and plugged" into the list to expedite move-up on NWA side.


Yours does not have a list? Ours does.

Can somebody explain this 'pull-out-plug-in' deal please?

I think it means as those oldest 274 pilots retire only NWA pilots move up in seniority. So over time the nwa pilots will get a bump of 274 spots as those old guys retire.

Basically used to appease the NWA guys for a bit of attrition, key word is a "bit". 260 plus guys pulled out of the list and some NWA guys were pulled out of where they were and put 260 spots up. Seeing as we have retired that many guys this year alone, this is where most of the heartburn will be.

Also hearing that in 10 years, 85% of the WB slots will be DAl pilots, but still waiting on the projections.

Also, I personally think the furlough clause is BS, due to DAL calling the shots. Hopefully, we won't have to worry about it.

Most of the NWA guys that I have spoken to are a bit pissed and it seems the DAL guys are relatively happy. I thought we were both supposed to be pissed
 
This may make it interesting next year when the furloughs come:

"From November 1, 2008, until the first bid period following issuance of
the SOC, any furloughs that are the result of the reduction in flying in the
pre-merger aircraft contained in each airline's Pre-merger fleet shall be
borne by the pilots from that pre-merger airline regardless of their system
seniority; provided, however, that any furloughs resulting from such​
reduction in B757 shall be shared on a 1:1 basis."

I think that you are whacked.

It means that these guys were pulled out, the list created, and then they were plugged back in to the place they should be. That way, NWA guys got the benefit of their not being there when the ratio was created. Basically, a Delta guy is penalized a number, up to 274 total for every one of those NWA guys of the 274 who is senior to him/until those guys retire--which will be within the next couple of years. There is no leapfrogging in the list. It was "pre-dynamic'd"--if you will.

How does Compass/Mesaba fit in with this if they do furlough? Does this mean the first company to furlough flowdown (before SOC)?
