And to think after all these years all we had to do is ask a DAL jumpseater to straighten it out for us.

The fences all died in 2006. They can go wherever their seniority will hold. Their seniority is DOH. Maybe his seniority won't let him captain a WB, but it isn't a fence.

So, you believe a newspaper article over someone who has been here for 13 years? Humm. "Trust but Verify" is just "Trust but Trust" with you. Scary. Fire light but no bell? Just let it burn, dude.

NWA's pilot list is DOH and the fences from the Republic merger were done in 2006. If a position comes up here it goes DOH.

Perhaps that's the deal then. Thanks for the info.

The rumors are that the merger committees are no longer meeting.

After 2006 the awarding of positions goes DOH. You can't bump anyone and you cannot insert yourself in front of someone with recall rights.

The only thing I know is that there are always two sides of the story. I'm also willing to listen and/or be open to the possibility that things may not be what they seem.

Its always rumors. I cant wait to hear something factual. This either needs to die or happen.

FWIW i heard they are meeting and from what i have "heard" its a really good deal for all involved once the seniority issue is resolved.
