This is what ACTUALLY happened at DAL/NWA. The 274 oldest NWA pilots ended up on the top of the list to account for NWA's larger attrition rates. The rest was done based on relative seniority based on 4 classes. LNB captain, SNB Captain, LNB FO's, and SNB FO's. 777's, 747's and 787's were fenced for 5 years. You can read the whole arbitrators decision on the internet if you really want the facts instead of the BS you get on FI.



Constructing the Integrated System Seniority List. The ISSL has been constructed from the pre-merger Delta and pre-merger
Northwest pilot seniority lists in effect on November 1, 2008, as provided to the Panel by the parties, in the manner set forth below. The relative position of each pilot on the pre-merger lists remained unchanged on the ISSL.
1. All pilots on long-term sick leave (12 months or longer) were removed from the pre-merger lists.
2. The 274 oldest Northwest pilots were removed from the pre-merger list.
3. The first 3045 positions on the ISSL were filled with the first 1961 Delta pilots and 1084 Northwest pilots on the pre-merger lists in a ratio of 1961:1084 beginning with a Delta pilot.
4. The next 2433 positions on the ISSL were filled with the next 1313 Delta pilots and 1120 Northwest pilots on the pre-merger lists in a ratio of 1313:1120 beginning with a Delta pilot.
5. The next 3932 positions on the ISSL were filled with the next 2580 Delta pilots and 1352 Northwest pilots on the pre-merger lists in a ratio of 2580:1352 beginning with a Delta pilot.
6. The ISSL was completed with Delta and Northwest pilots remaining on the pre-merger lists in a ratio of 1314:957 Delta to Northwest pilots beginning with a Delta pilot until both pre-merger lists are exhausted subject to paragraph 7, below.
7. All pilots with dates of hire after April 14, 2008, were placed at the bottom of the ISSL in order of date of hire.
8. The Northwest pilots pulled in paragraph 2. were inserted directly above the next junior Northwest pilot.
9. The pilots on long-term sick leave pulled in paragraph 1. were inserted directly above the next junior pilot on his/her respective pre-merger list.
Finally, as an integral part of the ISSL we have fashioned Conditions and Restrictions that are incorporated as this Board’s Award .

THANK you... that's what I've been trying to convey for a while now.
 
I will certainly not try to figger out the SLI here but you must keep in mind that NWA and DAL were both the same age, both had nearly identical financials, both had just been through bankruptsy, both had furloughed.

Gup
 
Amen guppy

AMEN TO THAT. I STILL SAY THAT IF AT WAS BUYING VIRGIN OR EVEN SHUTUBLIC THAT THEY WOULD DEMAND A STAPLE JOB. WOULD THEY ALSO TAKE A PAY CUT. i THINK NOT. SORRY AT GUYS JUST MY THOUGHTS.

EITHER WAY I CAN'T WAIT TO WORK WITH EACH OF YOU. EVEN THE WHINEY BIT^(& GUYS AND GALS. CHEERS TO THE MANY BEERS WE WILL DRINK TOGETHER AND THE LIVERS THAT WILL GO BAD.

FEED YOUR OLDER CAPTAINS LOTS OF BEERS AND CHEESE BURGER lol.. SORRY OLDER CHAPS- I STILL HAVE THE LUV FOR YOU BUT I WANT YOUR SEAT. AS DO THE AT YOUNGER FOLKS

Heyas,

This isn't really correct. The oldest pilots were "pulled out", and then the ISSL was constructed with the ratios mentioned. Those pilots were then "plugged" into the list one spot senior to the NWA pilot one number junior to them.

No one jumped to the top of the list because of their age.

Nu

I will have to agree with Gup here. DAL and NWA were very similar airlines with similar demographics. This is going to be interesting. Popcorn anyone.
 
Both Delta and NWA were ALPA carriers also with pre-existing language about how a merger would take place. This is a totally different situation.
