Not really relevant to what's happening today at Delta.

Let's get back to the point. There are no "thank you's" owed from former DAL furloughees to those hired after the fact. None. And the fact that some, not you, but some are beeyatching about the furloughed guys coming back into positions that their contractually-guaranteed agreement offers them is reprehensible. Seniority is seniority. That's not an emotive concept. I just lost four positions in LA. You know what, right on. They deserve it, as did I in 2008.

Your father may have been furloughed and had company's change. I know it affected your family. I was furloughed, understood it, and moved on. It affected mine as well. Negatively, trust me.

My point is yours. We must go forward in a solidly unified manner. I don't know who you are, I assume you can gather from my user name who I am. Your peers gained from the after affects of 9/11. Mine suffered.

I think we're of a like mind here. But, please, don't try to paint those DAL/NWA furloughees with the same brush as the guys flying regionals and gaining all of that flying because of their loss. Its not accurate and its an insult.
