Second, you might be implying about the time when your MEC came to ours and did not ask, but instead told us to accept your furloughees at the same seniority as they were in mainland with pay adjusted accordingly. Yet when our MEC asked for some sort of reciprocation, it was irrefutably denied. Is that the time?. Well, you could see how that went.
Just remember there are enough people/companies "mighty" delta has ****ed off and stepped on along the way (PanAm anyone), and I mean more than one. And life is nothing but a circle. Have a great day.
Sorry but you've been lied to.....
CMR mgmt had a policy that to hire a DAL furloughee, they had to resign their DAL position.
ASA had no such policy, nor any other regional. I had friends go to ASA (who along with CMR was growing like gangbusters due to DAL parking the 727 and 737-200 and replacing them with RJ fleet) and they started at the bottom on probation.
DALPA went to the CMR MEC and asked for them to ask CMR mgmt to accept DALPA pilots on furlough for interviews without requiring them to RESIGN from DAL.
CMR MEC said we kind of like the policy anyway, but for a little quid pro quo we'd see what could be done (ultimately nothing). Meanwhile, 100's of DAL furloughees went to ASA, SKYWEST, EXPRESSJET, Horizon, and Jetblue (all with the ability to be recalled until 2014)
Most at DALPA realize that current CMR FO's probably weren't around during that time, but junior DAL pilot's will have a long memory (and short sympathy) for any CMR pilot from the 2001 timeframe. But not to worry, US AIR is hiring.
Kharma does indeed come-round
