Hmmm, let's compare apples to apples, shall we.
Some former OH MEC dude WRITES a memorandum with no force other than his wholehearted desire to make DAL pilots resign their DAL numbers if they want a job. 1. the OH pilots have
no bearing whatsoever in this WRITING of a MEMORANDUM, 2. if this ever came to fruition, at least a job could have been had (resigning your seniority is your own choice), 3. you could still have fed your family
So now, DAL pilots
VOTE (all of them) to get rid of planes that
effectively and affirmatively puts OH pilot out of jobs. Yep, that's right, some upper muchy-muck didn't
WRITE A SIMPLE MEMORANDUM, DAL VOTED this in (knowing full well the ramifications on the regionals, and OH in particular).
Give me another load of crap about how this is good for the flying industry. THis was good for DAL pilot's wallets and that is it, period. Removing regional flying ONLY helps the DAL guys, wow, they're getting more planes and get new hires to move up the ladder.
All the while, 800+ OH pilots are out of work, permanently with OH,
not just a furlough, I note, with no chance of being recalled, no chance of having THE OPTION of giving up a seniority number, nothing, nada. DAL pilots are just as much responsible for putting OH guys out of work as DAL mgmt is.
Yeah, it's business, but let's stop tip-toeing around the underlying issue.
