Anyway it's sad watching you guys get nasty with each other over a policy that both pilot groups had exactly ZERO influence to control. Any unpleasantness should be directed towards DAL management.
I don't think anybody is being nasty, we just have differing opinions and some people seem to be prepped to play the butthurt victim card. I restate my opinion that most Endeavor pilots are being short sighted if they celebrate getting priority over DAL retirees. Of course not all, but I have to assume most aspire to some day be a DAL retiree. I do agree that this is another one of the 99% (made up statistic) of online discussions that has zero bearing on any real world outcomes since as you correctly mentioned, this is up to management and not the pilot groups. I have a feeling management probably has PS for life so what do they care about S3A vs S3B, they and their families won't be affected...
