One of your former co-workers is here, so I can make an exact comparison, to you Super. It is not a guesstimate.
You serious?I can tell you that I did the math of NWA and DAL before coming here.
How did that happen, they get fired?Some of your former co-workers are here and can make the same comparisons.![]()
The problem is that the new DAL guys may be moving up quick right now because of the bailout of the top of the list and that will plateau at some point.. NWA hasnt had our large retirements #'s or bailouts happen yet and because of age 65 that has put a ? for when people will leave in the next 4 years. The AVERAGE age of the NWA seniority list is something like 53 or 54 years old, the numbers are there. Had we stayed NWA i would be at 45% on the list in the next 10-13 years. We have a "crystal ball" that alpa set up that shows our projected career progression. It shows me in the top 2000 for the last 25 years of my career and retiring at number 3. How does that compare to career progression at DAL for a new guy? Just because a DAL guy is in a widebody as an FO now doesnt mean his/her career progression is better than that of a NWA guy. Apples to oranges and many factors contribute to the equation.
Who's 787's?and our 787's are delayed.
You serious?
Fin Fans: Like the boy in orthopedic shoes, I stand corrected. I wrote that "no one I know considered NWA" and apparently that statement is incorrect. Crap, that's the second time this year that I've been wrong ....
My point is only that those at DAL that are trying to argue that junior DAL pilots have better career expectations than those at NWA because they are on widebodies NOW need to not only be looking at NOW. Apples to oranges.
Fact is that at my retirement date I am over 220 number senior to where you would be on the same date.
