last i looked it was about a 1000 from the bottom. So 4200ish out of 5200ish.
IMHO, DOH intergration of both seniority lists with a no bump, no flush seems to be a fair way to go.
If not then fences around the equipment be put into place until the most junior pilot on the property retires. Coincidentally, that was what the NWA/Republic merger arbitrated, called affectionately, "The Roberts Award". This ruling finally ended January of 2006.
Personally, I do not want to fly DAL equipment nor bid into any of their bases. All of the NWA pilots that I have talked with agree also feel the same way.
In fact, these pilots all agree that a merger is not wanted, and that NWA is in a very good financial shape right now and a merger with DAL may reverse that positive trend.
An arbitrated ruling on the seniority list intergration certainnally will bring more negatives than positives to the solution for both NWA and DAL.
Who knows, there are to many variables.What do you think the upgrade time will be for a newhire?
I stand to lose a lot in this merger and will likely resign once the details are confirmed. None the less, in the interest of our profession I hope that ALPA can make this transaction work for its membership. This thing is perilously close to being USAPA version 2.0.
Joe,
Fin as with many that have to look up at a 11,000+ seniority list, has a lot to weigh. If you are in your 40's and less than 1500 pilots from the bottom, the prospects of a upgrade equating to a decent QOL get less and less.
Each person has to weigh that. As we all know it isn't what it used to be. 80-100K is not bad, but it is not what many have see nor signed on for, especially for people who will be affected by a merger as well as the age 65 implementation.
I understand that completely.....that is why I have chosen to stay at the top of the list here at ASA.....The view looks better to me from here than it does at the bottom of the Delta list....
The bottom of a legacy list looks a little scary right now.....
True, but sometimes it is greener. In the past year Delta has announced more growth, more aircraft orders and hired more pilots than they initially forecast. Until there is an agreement & see details we do not know how to shade the grass.Fins, guess the grass really isn't as green on the other side as some think, is it?
It's not an easy decision to make. Walking away from a $80K+ a year job for one that starts out at less than half that with little job security takes some serious consideration. There are only a few airlines I'd leave for. Luckily for me, my first choice called. Not everyone sees NW as an option they'd leave a regional for. I put a premium on being on the front edge of a hiring wave.That's kind of ironic. I make 80-100K at ASA am in the top 50% of the list. But from what I'm hearing my QOL and prospects are way better than those of you who got the "dream shot".
And everyone wants to know why we "losers" CHOOSE to stay at a regional.
