Yes, I feel for the furloughed guys after 9/11, but that hardship and emotion doesn't change the fact that those guys were still at the very bottom of their list.

Couple that with the disappearing DC9s and 742s, and there wasn't much case for integrating them above the 07 south hires.

Hashed out and decided by an IMPARTIAL party.
