Kirby must not think we can multiply and add. In two years DAL vacation will top out at 37 days x 4:35 = 160:25 annual vacation hours. United tops out at 42 days x 3:15 = 136.5 annual hours.

United is stacking cash to build the runway longer to ensure furloughs are never a threat.
Complete BS. The cost of the current United offer is well below Delta's contract and does anyone believe the cash is for furlough prevention? UFB.

If only Kirby was this stupid. The reason for the 100+ unfilled Captain slots is the work rules and reserve provisions are so substandard. Nothing like two year Captains and new-hire FOs operating 737NG & 737MAXs all over the northern hemisphere.

The pilot group was unified in their disappointment.
