[QUOTE=
If these Alaska rumors are true, you can bet they'll sure as hell argue they should be integrated senior to the Douglas fleet. They'll not be pleased to see that thing coming back. They have added 40 percent to their list since 2009.[/QUOTE]
I sure hope this is not true...the SLI will be ugly for the DAL list! I suspect only the WB captains will benefit from this merger...NB pilots will feel significant stagnation. They have lots of young 737 CA over there! Oh well....

Little late for that. Arbitrators have been doing pretty much % for while now.But that said arbitration is arbitration.Back in the day so to speak when it was almost always DOH plus 5 /8 year fences at least you knew what you were signing up for. I can se 6 year 737 Ca being mixed in with somebody's 12 year 737 all in the name of %. As they say careful what you ask for.

I highly doubt 1400 pilots will make that much of an impact to a 11,700ish list, especially with some fences involved. Add in the fact that Delta would be the purchaser.... Look at NWA, most of those guys lost 3+ years.

You parroted over and over that ALV+15 was for covering the long trips in international categories.

This may be the first post in human history where a guy is complaining about getting a line! Are you saying that is bad?
I can remember back in C2K reading the DALPA message boards. One guy was complaining loudly about how much reserve sucked, etc. Someone else chimed in, "uh, right now reserve is a pretty good gig and actually goes senior in some categories."
His response? "Well, something is wrong with a system where any pilot would voluntarily choose reserve."
UNbelievable.

Saw this elsewhere
On Friday, a respected aviation blog called“Operationally Speaking” said research is underway. Boeing and a number of big European manufacturers are reportedly interested.
It would work like this: a co-pilot would be stationed on the ground. That co-pilot would essentially act like the pilot of an unmanned drone. They would be able to take “remote control” of the flight if needed.
