Congratulations to you for getting hired at mother Delta, but working for Delta may not be everyone's dream. The scope of Deltas actions is a lot bigger than adding 200 or so positions. Try looking at the thousands of people that lose their jobs because of greedy investors, or all the smaller communities that lose their service because of Deltas egotistical view on prop airplanes. I hear all the time from Delta pilots how the regionals should have stayed commuter and never been given jets. Now, I ask you this, how is this possible with Deltas view on turboprops? The regionals took many years to get to the level they are at now, and Deltas expedited reduction is hurting a lot of good people, and good families. What is the rush? You say it's just business, and maybe that's the way it is now. But not that long ago employers used to show compassion, and not just look at the almighty dollar
