SO, I spend my last 8 years sitting behind 1500 guys junior to me bidding junior lines and working more days and have a lower quality of life etc. You have had a great seniority advance and now it seem that you want another one. I do not want to take anyones seat or bump any Delta pilot out of his seat. But, I do not want Delta guys junior to me DOH to take my upward movement away. I am just trying to keep WHAT I HAD COMING BEFORE THIS MERGER WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT. PAY MAY COME AND GO RETIREMENT MAY COME AND GO THE ONLY THING THAT IS FOREVER IS YOUR SENIORITY.

Can you guarantee me that I will never loose my Frozen retirement that is half of what it was supposed to be. What happenes if that goes away. Can you guarantee me that Delta will not go Bankrupt again. What happens when they need paycuts to stay afloat next time. So I am supposed to take a senority hit based on things that may not be there in the future-- don't think so because we have already lost and probably will loose again when it comes to contractual negeotiated items. Everyone caves when it comes to loosing your job and lively hood.
