Speedbird34,
You will not be displaced. Read from the Conditions and Restrictions:
3. Neither the implementation of the ISSL nor the implementation or
expiration of a condition or restriction herein, in and of itself, shall cause
the displacement of any pilot from his or her then-current position
(including pilots who have been awarded positions but had not
commenced or completed training).
I really don't know what you're so upset about. I get to spend the next 25 years with the guy directly senior to me being hired six and a half years after me. So much for "career expectations."
Could ya remind me again how lucky I am to be a Delta pilot?! So far the Koolaid tastes like $hit.
Any delta guys who know how this works please help. So I remember seeing a few guys on the last AE who were displaced from 737 to MD and out of current base to NYC. I think they might have been in CVG but not sure. My question revolves around this bit mentioned above. If I understand it correctly the conditions set forth above are pretty much meaningless when you talk about moving different categories of airplanes all over the system (reducing category size in one base or doing away with it completely) as you "right size" the delta fleet for the missions that corporate sees fit.
For example if Delta decides to replace the MD's in SLC with Airbus A320's. The NWA guys who have been chomping at the bit to move west simply roll into the 320's and many junior SLC MD guys are bumped from their seat (Sr Captains might be able to take mid position 320 Captain slots and jr Captains can join Sr Delta F.O.'s in the right seat of the 320, 737, 757, etc bumping jr F.O.'s in all of those airplanes (conceivably to right seat of the DC9 in Detroit or MSP). So in essence the language above although maybe making one feel all warm and fuzzy at first, just like the "no furloughs due to the merger from Richard, turn out meaningless (now furloughs due to the economy of course).
