Sorry, not trying to rain on anyones parade but maybe some DAL guys on here could help with the inside story.

Read the other threads. We are simply getting rid of some 2000 employees, 30.000 got the offer. I think (read hope) that we are just replacing the old FA with younger ones that pass the albow test - good for business!
