Some move - and some say, "I'm happy here and need to stay here, so I'm going to take my talents and salary over to Company B which in this city and get hired on there, with no loss in pay/benefits."

Doesn't work to well in the airline business. A guy who's been at Delta/United/American isn't going to do that and realistically, it would be stupid to give up pay/benefits because of that.

Also, does Delta help pay for selling a house and the loss in home value like other companies it's size? No. A friend of mine moved last year - had to come to the table with $30,000 because of the loss in home value. (this is in DTW area). Realistically, not many people have $30K laying around these days - I put my extra cash in retirement accounts.
