Bad.....those of us that were still on property when delta filed bankruptcy did not experience what delta did to the retired group.
Its a measure of the character of corporate management that they extracted the greatest pain from those with the least recourse. And with the least opportunity for economic recovery.
Those on property still had a job. And then an added 5 year reprieve from the governor.
Everybody here should appreciate that if management didnt need the active pilot group to continue to move metal we would have faced the same fate.
This is my interpretation of the implied follow on to the 'lost sleep' comment.......the worry was not enough was taken from us....and still have us show up and fly the jets.
They needed us. They had no need for the retired pilots.
