I do not want to be a sub commander.... Ever!

Why??

Be careful what you wish for.

Who says I'm wishing?

Fortunately, We will be "aquired not hired" so they wont expect much from us. From a delta friends ratio simulation based on the dal/nwa model our surviving captains will be around the middle 500's. Small price to pay for the priveledge of wearing a hat again, dont you think?

Well 13 years in the right seat, what's another 8 right ?

 

[Mea25000]

You mean middle 5,000's... No one will end up in the 500's

 

[Mookie]

Alaska's 500's....

I would be THRILLED if I were an AK pilot with that kind of SLI integration. Consider where those top AK CA's would be placed if they got 500 on a DAL/AK SLI list.

Current CA Seniority that can hold following A/C:

747: 04-1958
777: 03-1489
330 SEA: 77-2657
737 ATL (most senior 737 base): 158-5667

The senior AK pilot would fit in at greater than 50 % on a 747 or 777!

Those fences would be pretty dang tall.

With no career expectation of being a widebody CA or FO at AK it would look more like the NWA Rebublic merger.
