Jan, 2001. Low 9000s. There was also United, FedEx and UPS guys in the class.

I'm sure you have. The ones I know about were hired at Delta in 08-10. Understandable since they saw stagnation in their future. I'm also sure that when we start hiring, there will be some who leave SWA for Delta due to the same thing. There is always churn at the bottom.
My contention was that BP seems very angry at the thought of anyone who hasn't paid "Dues" jumping in front of him on the SL. I saw the same thing happen during our merger from both N and S guys. Invariably, they were junior too and scared of where they would fall on the list, even to the point of being furloughed. Yes, I know SWA has never furloughed. Delta had never furloughed in 65+ years until they did in the 90s. Never say never.
