The November APA at NWA
The results of the November APA are as follows:
A330 - 15 Captains
B757 - 1 Captain
A320 - 31 Captains
and a bunch of F/O positions.
All are new awards. No displacements.
Subsequent flying bulletin stated that necessary 747-400 Captain awards may be delayed a month due to managing the expected outflow from the A330 to the 747-400.
This is one example of a thread dealing with NWA/DAL that is actually fact based.

The conversion to the DAL manning formula won't happen until bid period 5. We've heard bid period 5 will probably be around the time of the Single Operating Certificate.
My guess is that most if not all of the upgrades are due to retirements. I say this because the 747-400 have had a number of new Captains added for the last 2 months, yet every flight is still manned with the 1 Captain and 3 F/O augmentation scheme.

What I've heard is that we are running thin and we can expect to be even more lean as the next ten months pass as they are not going to hire on the nwa side to replace our attrition. They're hoping that with higher monthly maxes, overtime and no more leaves they can staff the airline for the spring and summer. We'll see but if guys keep throwing their retirement papers in the numbers may not work. Their thinking is that they are fat (no offense to those challenged by size) on the Dal side so that when we have a SOC it will even out.
