Yeah, they may not have known it would be OH, but really, how could they not, but in any event, it was going to be someone's job on the line. Someone who makes a heck of a lot less than they do and still has to put a roof over their heads and put food on the table for their families.
You'll see talk about labor and management on these threads all the time. But in this case, DAL labor went along with management in this particular case. There could easily have been some sort of *basic* provisions put in to help those who are losing their jobs.
They voted it out in the first place, at their own expense - unknownst to them at the time. Now they are simply taking it back. Regional pilots didn't give anything to mainline pilots, and the Comair letter just drove a stake through future hiring at Delta.
Seek employment on your own... ALPA won't do **** for you. A couple of national fat cats make out well, and it's a useless association.
