The fact that you give 1 second of credibility to anything on chit chat is telling.
Yes, you did. Several different ways, in fact.

Even if it got to arbitration, it's extremely likely the arbitrator would duly consider the career expectations, status, and category - and conclude they are all clearly
100% below every last pilot on the DL seniority list. it's actually not that complicated.
But I have an honest question. Seriously, please answer this:
Do you think any pilot currently at 9E should be senior to
even one former 9E pliot who already flowed off the top of their list? And who had been senior to them while both were at 9E? IOW, do you think it's "fair and equitable" for that junior 9E pilot to leapfrog and now be the senior pilot at Delta?
