The majority of these positions are wide body positions. I would say that this is a huge windfall for the delta guys. I sit there watching delta guys fill seats that would have been open for me. If there were equal retirements on the Delta side I would have no beef. You may have retirements coming in th future, but where on your list do they come from. Any way IT is complicated and there is no simple answer. Most everyone will feel that he or she probably got screwed. I for one just hope that we can keep a good job and company going. Good luck to us all.
