You changed your post after I quoted it. No, I never thought anyone was just furloughed for a week or a month. I was using extreme time spans to make the point that people moved on. Even after rereading my post I don't know how you took it any other way.
Scambo,
You're a good dude but the fact that you don't know who and for how long your fellow pilots were furloughed is indicative of what's wrong with our pilot group. There shouldn't be a single Delta pilot who doesn't understand how many and for how long we put guys on the street. Is that an ALPA problem or a Delta pilot culture problem? We hire guys, kick them to the curb, guys green slip (not implying you did of course) and can't recount why and how? There's no "fraternal" there. That's despicable. That's a problem. F the junior guys, what's in it for me?
