If the company had decided to shrink the airline and furlough as a result of the marketplace realities, it would have been disingenuous to blame C2012 for those job losses. It's just as disingenuous for you to claim that C2012 was the reason that we've seen job growth now.

With regard to C2012 and jobs, there is no question that C2012 had job LOSSES baked into it. Not even the MEC disagrees with that. What saved us is that the market (and Delta management's reaction to it) decided that growing the airline would be best.
