I ran the numbers too and came up with a different merger. Hold on for this math in public and it would be about date of hire which is bad for us.
Lets call the airline a total of 12,000 for easy math. 7,200 DAL 4,800 NW (I know its not exact but its easier.
1st 30% doh and assuming NWA has more senior pilots call them 20% of the 30%
That makes 2,400 NWA 1,200 DAL 50%NWA 16.6% DAL
Next 30% 1 for 2 2,400 DAL 1,200 NWA 33.4 % DAL and 25% NWA
Leaving 3,600 DAL and 1,200 NWA 50%DAL 25%NWA
Now 1 for 3
Guess what its almost date of hire that last for pilots are 3 DAL 1 NWA. Again bad for the DAL pilots as we have everything to lose and nothing to gain.
I don't know where the ratio lines are drawn, but wouldn't it make sense to try to make those lines match current equipment bids? If so, that would probably be close to correct, but still favor the NWA side slightly.Problem for me is, that this staples 500 NWA pilots to the bottom of the mid group and an additional 1100 NWA pilots to the bottom of the third. Not too fair for the NWA guys. I, for one, would be below the Apr'08 hires at DAL. Like I said before, I've been here 10 yrs. Is that a fair integration. Don' think so...

"I can't wait to be SLC based bc he is a PHX commuter." Nice touch buddy keep your comments to your self and stay in DTW please.
The rumored deal here looks like it is not the real deal. However, remember that DOH really doesn't mean much here. If you end up in a position that is relatively the same as the one you are currently in, then I don't see how it isn't fair. I'm at 93% on the current DAL list. I don't expect to be at 90% on a combined list nor do I expect to be at 97% on a combined list. If I end up behind somebody from NWA with a hire date after mine, but have the same relative seniority, then it's fair. With the way hiring has went at NWA and DAL, it does appear that you may have some guys from Delta with a DOH after yours that may be senior to you. If you end up in the same relative position, I still don't see how you can say that isn't fair.
