That is correct. All of the 757/767 bases will eventually be converted to both domestic and INTL in one category. ATL will be the last one, since it is the biggest.

shut upDo you think you'll be able to hold it?

Do you guys think an '07 hire will be able to hold NYC ER FO going forward?
I definitely see them shrinking that category as the A330's move in and the 767's go east.
But it's still JFK.:crying:
I start losing ground in 2016 and peak out at a 7% difference for the yrs 2020-2023 then slowly recover to be back at my stand alone % by 2028.
Yes, but all you can hold now is an engineer seat. When those aircraft retire shortly, you'll be able to upgrade to a window seat.Wow, lucky you. I start off at 1% behind, bottom out out at 10% behind, to never fully recover with a finish at 2% behind. So much for relative seniority BS, Delta won.
GL,
It is finally good to hear y'all acknowledge our significant near term attrition. Too bad the arbitraitors did not. There are parts of our list that will never recover (86-89) hires. All in all my group (95) did ok. However, looking at my percentages I start losing ground in 2016 and peak out at a 7% difference for the yrs 2020-2023 then slowly recover to be back at my stand alone % by 2028. Now in fairness, I end up retiring within 2 #s of my original NWA prediction a few years later. Most FNW pilots will not ever be anywhere close to their stand alone percentages. Lets just hope for all of our sakes though this place is a survivor. :beer:
That is the million dollar question. JFK is JFK, and it is by far the hardest base to commute to. I am sure that on some level there will be an ER base in NYC. I would even guess that some of the new hires will still hold it. Albeit, not holding weekends off and three days to TLV!
The NWA guys are assuming age 60 retirements, which for now will at least be mostly correct.
After a couple years it will wane and trickle back to 65 as the frozen pensions get smaller. This is a fact they have a hard time admitting!
Well, we had 6 go in January, more than DAl is supposed to have in the next FIVE YEARS.

"Equity demands that the Northwest pilots’ expectations not be fully foiled by the merger. Fairness, however, requires some tempering of the potential impact power of the adjustment mechanism. It would be myopic for this Board to focus solely on the stand-alone attrition expectations of the NWA pilot group. We accept they may constitute a legitimate career expectation, but one must also consider other elements reasonably regarded as potentially dampening those expectations.
20 The Northwest fleet, for example is composed of numerous aircraft of questionable long-term utility."

There were several equities that needed to be balanced. Delta had a disproportionately larger fleet of wide bodied and 757 aircraft, NWA had more attrition, NWA pilots will receive larger pay raises, DAL pilots will see more short term retirements, Delta had a growing fleet, NWA was looking at further contraction. Quite a bit to balance. If anyone focusses on just one equity, then the award will not appear equitable, if you look at it in it's entirety and balance out all the competing equities, then the award begins to look fair and equitable.

Yes, but all you can hold now is an engineer seat.
You will probably retire more AIRPLANES than we will within the next 5 years though...
