That's one way to put it. Another way would be for DALPA to allow pilots to retire, then come back and fly the line while being off the seniority list. With 1000 guys on furlough no less.....

Great program, hope to see that again.
It is highly unlikely that would ever happen again. There simply isn't the demand to hire pilots to come back right now.
