Yes indeed it will include 767 Captains like you tsquare. Which is the start of a point I'm trying to make.

Actually, that's the last part of my point...but I don't want to jump ahead.

Maybe not tsquare since you're a 767 Captain. Delta could make even more money if they furloughed you out of seniority. And that wouldn't mean more money for you and I doubt you could "live with that."

But it's all about what makes Delta the most money...right tsquare? If you're flying a dying airplane, shouldn't we just furlough you out of seniority to save on training costs and your high longevity costs? Why not do that? Would you still say: "nothing I can do about it either?" What would be wrong with that picture?
