Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I was hired on to the ER and plan on being placed in the MD88. But in 5 to 10 years I want to have a chance at getting back to international.

Your reading of that clause is incorrect. All the 777 airframes on order now will go to the Delta pilots. These are known orders. There were also delivery positions the arbitrators considered firm beyond the next 8 airframes. Those will also go to original DAL pilots. If the 787's are cancelled and additional 777's are picked up to replace them they will go to former NWA pilots. That is how it should be. The actual replacement aircraft however could be additional A330 or 767ER's. Overall I viewed the fences as favoring the DAL pilots not the NWA pilots. Going forward Delta 777 fleet is expected to expand to 28 to 36 airframes in the next 5 years. All that expansion goes to the Delta side. NWA is going to lose the 747-200's with no replacements and some 400's will probably be retired also. They will be replaced and the NWA pilots will fly those replacement aircraft as the rightly should.

if that happens then most of the movement will come from the 76 which will then be backfilled by most of the senior guys from the old NWA list.

Lets not forget about the pool
Im including this quote of myself for legality purposes (so no one thinks Im lying).
I got the email at 11:42pm EST. Anyone got that beat? Cough up your equity, gentlemen. And because youre airline pilots, no checks accepted.
How's this pool go? Is it closest without going over, like the price is right? Or maybe plus or minus 15 minutes? Gotta be clear on the terms before I go betting my equity stake.
If it's anything like the way they put out the reserve lines in DBMS, then Im going with Monday night at 11:59 (Local base time, Atlanta Intergalatic Worldport).
