Some will take the leap, but say to they have entitlement issues because they don't want to go.... try walking a mile in their shoes before judging so negatively.
Yep, it is their choice and its not surprising they don't want to leave their super senior position, but let's get your fact straight on how things are at DL:
Getting to a widebody soon? 7ER is held within just a few numbers of the bottom of the list. ATL, DTW, and NYC are all the junior bases. The last class has people in all 3 last I checked. Newhires will primarily be going to ATL and DTW with a sprinkling of NYC. MSP is a bit more senior now but that will change.
I've been home at least part of Christmas day all of the 6 Christmas's that I've been here. I can think of only one Christmas eve that I've missed.
