That's the point I was trying to make.

Oh I know.


Are you saying that NWA 148 seat A320's, of which we have 71, are smaller gauge than an MD-88?

My bad. Bad math.

The DC-9 and A319 seat fewer than your maddogs. Thats 150 a/c out of a fleet of 365.

Would that be between a third and one half of your fleet?

Why, Yes...Yes it would. I know...it's still a high percentage, but remember, they say future domestic growth is in the 100 seat category.

As long as we're "playing that game", half of NWA's widebodies are bigger than DALs biggest a/c.

That's true.

Yeah, but I was just sparring for sparring sake.That half of our WB fleet I was referring to is still only 25% of the DAL WB fleet. I wish we still flew domestic WB like we used to.

Now, wasn't that productive?:beer:

If there is a merger, the only way this will work to our advantage as pilots is if we can avoid the adversarial relationship integrations have followed in the past and adopt a common strategy. That wont be easy, but I'm sure it can be done.

Agree 100%
