This industry has always been feast or famine, at one time in the mid 80s' the popular 'joke' was, "AA will hire right up until the day they start furloughing..."

That's one reason I wanted to be at Delta, at that time they had NEVER furloughed anyone. That's why the employees bought the first 767 for the company, as a "Thankyou" for not furloughing in the recession of 1981-85, when everyone else was furloughing.

Think Delta could get another free airplane like that again? I guarantee there wouldn't be one penny donated from any Connection employees.
