Full Definition of
windfall - 1 : something (as a tree or fruit) blown down by the wind
- 2 : an unexpected, unearned, or sudden gain or advantage.
So tell me then what was the windfall part of it? The left seat????????? Is THAT the overriding be all end all? If it is, then why are there FOs at DAL that are senior to me? It certainly wasn't the money, because 767 FOs made more. Had I been able to keep my seat when the payrates went back up, you would be right, but I got bumped, hence no windfall. So what advantage did I gain per definition #2.
