We competed for our job back then and have endured a less than ideal ride through the DAL/NWA merger, sale of Compass, and being voted out of Delta ALPA waiting for our turn to move on. I and many other cpz flow-ups are ex-military and took what job was available without feeling we were entitled to more than any other qualified pilot. I just have to defend these pilot's, ex-mil and not, as being deserving of these class spots and feel it would be wrong to ask us to go back and compete for our jobs all over again.
