Can anyone explain to me the "problems" with NWA's seniority list they have used lately? It seems to have a lot of retired pilots still on the list, and NALPA hasn't removed them, after plenty of requests. Apparently lots of mistakes. Darn computers! Here is a sample of testimony:
Number 16, DXXXXXX, has got prior
13 to 12-31-07 but he was on the January '08
14 seniority list.
15 Now, there were a few pilots that
16 had this type of annotation and in my actual
17 analysis I basically gave them a Mulligan for
18 that and said this pilot may have retired, he
19 may have been on the list incorrectly, but I
20 didn't consider that an error because, quite
21 frankly, there were much larger errors to look
22 at.
23 Q. Show us some of those.
24 A. The next one, for instance, would
25 be a pilot LuXXXX, number 18 on the list. Now

2 he wasn't identified as a prior to 12-31-07
3 pilot but he's still on their seniority list.
4 Q. He was included among 113 pilots
5 who the Northwest pilots told us through their
6 exhibit had retired between December 13, 2007
7 and January 31, correct?
8 A. Correct. And he's on the latest
9 list that we got just a couple of weeks ago.
10 Q. Okay.
It actually was a large part of the testimony, and went on for a while. I just don't understand what was wrong? Oh well.
Bye Bye--General Lee
