Date of hire means squat here. What matters is that you end up no better or worse off on the combined list. If you are at 80% on the NWA list now, you should end up at 80% on the combined list. Same goes for the Delta guys. I expect to be the same relative seniority on a combined list, nothing more, nothing less. What is so unfair about that???

I agree. DOH just won't work because of the it is not fair for a Delta 777 CA to get kicked off his/her seat by a senior pilot from NWA. Some kind of a ratio integration seems to be the way to go...
Ratioed list. 2007 hires next to 1995 hires. As he said, a non-starter, sorry!
I think the bigger hang up will be the relationship amongst the NWA committee members than between the DAL and NWA MECs.
This entire concept of getting out in front of a merger appears to be an alien concept to some members of the NWA committees. The NWA pilots have a more divided group, MEC, and committee structure. Therefore they need more time to debate the pros and cons and reach a consensus, or at least get it out of their merger committee and in front of their full MEC for debate.
That's what I've heard as well. Almost total disfunction from the other side. Didn't everyone see this coming for the last two years? Also looks like a windfall contract improvement for NW. Not so much for us, I'm afraid. I'd like to see our guys push back from the table (they may already have).
I hope the deal dies but I think management will go ahead without the pilots and we'll have what we have now for the next 3 years until the arbitrator makes his decision. No benefits from the merger for anyone. Still, you have to give Lee and Co. credit for thinking outside the box and trying to get both pilots groups to benefit from a merger that no pilot group had been able to do previously.
