It's on the NWA Merger page. Click the "seniority list arbitration" link and its the top link after that. Looks like pretty close to straight ratio, no staple of NWA guys on the bottom. I'm an Oct 99 hire, and I'm between two DAL guys hired Feb 2001. No text of any kind of conditions or restrictions yet that I can find.

It's on the NWA Merger page. Click the "seniority list arbitration" link and its the top link after that. Looks like pretty close to straight ratio, no staple of NWA guys on the bottom. I'm an Oct 99 hire, and I'm between two DAL guys hired Feb 2001. No text of any kind of conditions or restrictions yet that I can find.
If that's the case don't feel bad I'm a 1991 DAL hire behind a 1995 NWA hire (middle of the combined list) so it must be a fair list. A lot of shuffling went on to make it that way. I can't see how either side got the best of the deal. The only thing that would make me feel better is if I still had my pension.
