You got paid to stay at home, and what's more had zero obligation to remain loyal in any shape manner or form to DAL. How much weight did you gain sitting on ass playing video games? What SHOULD have happened is that the UNA status should have been bid on seniority. I GUARANTEE you that it wouldn't have gotten to 4 digit seniority.

EVERY SINGLE ONE of those that are 63 and over have seen stagnation/furlough and backsliding/displacements due to mergers that you apparently can't even imagine. ALL of them. So please forgive me if I don't cry a river for you moving up "less than 200 numbers in 2 years". I was at the bottom of the list, I moved zero for 5 and a half years, and I was lucky because I didn't get furloughed. THOSE guys lost everything for 5 or more years.

You have it made no matter what happens. Try to gain a little perspective.
