3stripes,
I remember reading several guys at LXJT endorse stalling negotiations because ASA was a sinking ship with the 50 seaters at Delta. When you're facing a potentially negative impact on your career's future, this does nothing but incite anger and resenent. To be honest, it was hard for me at times to rationalize this and realize it was a few jerks hiding behind an anonymous screen name on a message board. I suggest you do the same. It'll save you a lot of grief and resentment.
