You mistake fdal for fNWA. Take a look at the seniority list, see where a dal '86 hire's number vs a nwa '86 hire falls.

Oh good, we get to rehash this again.
5 years ago I was 767-400 CA, intermittent block holder. It'll be 5 years before I'm back to that position. So I guess I lost 10 years in the merger.
The concept was no windfalls, keep what you have. What were you on 5 years ago, and what %?

(These are all ER categories)
ATL- 426/450
DTW- 150/190
LAX- 140/175
MSP- 146/168
NYC- 193/306 (Best seniority and solid lineholder)
SEA- 126/132
SLC- 81/87
So it looks to me that you/he can hold widebody Captain in every base. Just not a lineholder and commuting to reserve is not enjoyable.
I mean, I guess they don't think those trips to Europe in a 767 to be widebody flying. Maybe they should be blaming the 744 Captains for not retiring at 60, if that's what he means by "widebody"? I mean, 61% of them are past 60 and still hanging on...
Maybe FTB is stuck in the snow, not snookered on Torpedo and can gin up a cool graphic showing where the over 60 folks are sitting?

Thanks for the math.
This is how I started:
As a very junior, narrow body captain starting my 28th year I'm fortunate.
Not a complaint at all.
It was all about profit sharing and compensation.
Forget it. I'm done

I thought Frozen was a bait and switch. It was a musical. And although Dr Rick Marshall said "I love showtunes, they really tell the story of the human condition." I don't.

The original post said he could hold "any widebody position and are kings on the ER". That is not true. My seniority can only hold a junior ER position and NO WB position above that.

The thing is that whoever he/she is, they don't consider the "ER" in ATL to be a widebody category. I mean, I guess they don't think those trips to Europe in a 767 to be widebody flying.
Maybe they should be blaming the 744 Captains for not retiring at 60, if that's what he means by "widebody"? I mean, 61% of them are past 60 and still hanging on...

Once again you miss the point. Yes, we can hold junior ER. The OP said we could hold "ANY WB position". That means 777,744,330,764,767,757. That is untrue. However, if he is thinking fdal '86 they can and do hold all the above (744 still fenced). Not sour grapes, I'm past that.
