New DAL senority List

[GogglesPisano]

I agree with JetJockey. As another junior ER pilot I fear losing my seat in a shifting of flying. I can see myself on a narrow body out of DTW this time next year..... .

I used to think the same. I used to complain about flying the "RJ" across the pond because of the cramped flight deck and the stretch to the comm panel for the IRO.

Not any more.

Now I just want to keep my job.

Flying a DC9 out of DTW would sound pretty nice if I were on furlough.

I wonder what's the most junior captain hire at NWA flying the 330

330A: 05-1985
B-767-400A: 03-1989

No kidding... Also, don't the airlines tend to pay hotels and positive space displaced guys for some time. Unless you LIVE immediately in your present base that would be great.

Are you kidding? I guess you must not fly international. If you did, you would realize that at your percentage you could hold a line and have a good life, before. Now, you are going to be stagnant for the next five years with a bunch on NWA guys wanting to fly little 767s all over Europe and South America. We junior guys got *********************D, by our own union first, 2nd class furlough protection for post 9/11 new hires, and now this. Hopefully NWA won't bid our planes an bases all at once.

If you were integrated and a NWA guy junior to you was hired before Sept 1st, 2001, then you too get "somewhat" furlough protection, since it would make DL get rid of 6 seats in every 76 seat RJ if they furloughed the guy junior to you. If the NWA guy below you was hired after Sept 1st, 2001, then I don't think you qualify. Still, NWA will be retiring 1000 or more in the next 5 years, and then we retire a load after that.

Bye Bye--General Lee

Does anyone think there might be a chance of expanding the SEA domicile?

Maybe...SEA used to be huge for NW at one time. They are exploring new markets from SEA, especially to the far-east. That is one reason of the new code-share agreement with Alaskan. Hopefully we can get enough feed to expand further markets from SEA.

Now, there is also a chance of a future merger with Alaska.

Question from the neutral sidelines:

Can a DAL 76ER FO with an early 2008 hire date (pre April 08) be displaced from his seat (to a DC-9 for instance) by a more senior NWA hire in the near future?

Superpilot is correct...there is a specific clause in the award stating that cannot happen, as well as vice versa.

That being said..with the aircraft that are going to be moved around, I think the nwa guys are gonna be grabbing at the large number of "light twins" available as they are opening new bases and shrinking others.

I think you will see people do what they can to stay in their current aircraft or bases. For instance in my case i would like to stay in my aircraft and my base. Now if they move the bus out of my base then i either have to change bases or aircraft. its all going to depend on what mgmts plans are with bases and aircraft. until that happens there is no real way to tell how the cards will fall.

Unless they do the bulk of the moving around prior to SOC right?

Cheers,

Good luck to all the pilots at the new Delta.

Doubtful, IMHO.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Part of my post was tongue in cheek, I think that got lost.

Most of the aircraft movements will be beginning around April timeframe... SOC could occur as early as April.

We will see plenty of new bases...meaning the NWA guys will certainly be filtering out. NWA is nearly an 80% commuter airline...DAL is about the inverse.

I am not to disappointed in the list. Looks like I am real close to my relaitve senority on the DAL list prior to this. I did have one question. When I pulled up the list on the deltapilots.org page it did not show any dates of hire. Where did anyone find this? In any case, glad to be above 10,000 on this new list. Welcome to all of our new pilots.

I have been hearing that alot lately. Looks like mgmt wants it ASAP to get the full benefits. So far they havent taken their time with much so i assume thats how they are with getting the SOC.

Did slightly better than I hoped. But I am a pessimist. Was expecting exactly between nwa/dal proposals. Ended up about 200 numbers better than halfway. However, from first glance there are sections of our sli that got hammered, specifically our 86-89ish hires. Due to their placement and age most will not ever reach wb capt. that they would have without the merger. I feel that the nw 95 hires did relativaly well, with the early 95 doing very well. Anyway good luck to us all. :beer:

... Both groups asked for fences. Why the arbitrators would award no fences when we both wanted them is suspicious to me. ...

I think it suspicious that ALPA outsourced the SLI when you paid them dues.:laugh:

Agreed. Being in the 12K range, I feel like I am where I should be. Good luck to us all!

Anyone know the number of the guy (not name please) that holds the scope trigger position?

Wondering how much the Company can "right size" before they have to start taking seats out of all these shiny new big RJ's.
