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?

Carl,
Everything you said above is 100% correct - but it is my scenario and thats how I choose to set it up. Of course it can flipped around but it is still correct. By the way I think furloughs are possible if not probable at both companies but I still think the junior NW guys are at greater risk.
Anyway our MEC chairman just put out a memo and maybe we will some positive information for both pilot groups.
