Could a deal be fair that would result in a DAL guy getting furloughed at the combined company when he would not have been furloughed at a stand alone DAL?
He would probably say no but NW guys with an earlier DOH but relatively junior might think it was fair.
Scoop,
Interesting how you setup your scenarios. In my view here's what you should have said in the second paragraph: "Could a deal be fair that would result in a DAL guy getting furloughed at the combined company? You might say no, but I would say - yes, if you would have been furloughed at a stand alone DAL." You see, THAT would be a fair comparison. Unless you really don't think furloughs were a possibility at a stand alone DAL. Is that what you believe? Even though DAL made a big splash of cutting thousands of jobs and reducing capacity - still no furloughs? DAL hiring to stop in May - still no furlough concern?
