ACL's got reasons to like it up there and he knows few will join him. He's got it made and is young enough to wait the NWA side out.
His circumstance is better than what most folks have to deal with... and good for him. Superpilot 92 is going to make out on this deal well also. They are great guys - none of this is personal, but we can cheer for those who are going to make it good in this business.
I'm younger and senior to superpilot. I've been looking at a seniority list crystal ball. My percentage up the seniority list compared to where it would be had we stayed separate gets worse and worse every single year until 2024 where I am 53 percent from the bottom compared to 42 percent from bottom had we stayed separate. After that, the percentages start getting closer, but until my last year in 2046, I am behind my entire career. Superpilot would have been better off without the merger as would myself. Contracts are temporary, seniority is forever. The Delta pilots hands down won this arbitration. Katz is a worthless lawyer that loses every single seniority case he deals with. Why ALPA still employs him is beyond me. That being said, it is more beneficial to all of us to just suck it up and move on. No one wants a US Airways' situation. Any Delta pilot that thinks he/she didn't make out well, just look at a crystal ball of your future percentages. I guarantee you made out unless you are one of the few unfortunate pilots on the bottom.
