Furlough mitigation was a good plan in case we needed it, but now we don't.

Carl,
Well as our equity share rapidly approaches zero hopefully less guys will stick around for it and more guys will retire as planned. I'm still trying to figure out if this is good or bad. On one hand more guys will retire. On the other hand my equity share will also be worth squat - Oh well such is life.
Oh and another thing - "don't sell yourself short - your quite a slouch." In other words words NW is a solid airline with a great history and when this is all said and done hopefully the new Delta/Northwest will continue the proud tradition (prior to BK) of both companies.
One more thing - yours truly was turned down by UAL - one of the best things that ever happened to me, but really who gives a crap. Any guys that got turned down by DAL and hired at NW or turned down by NW and hired at DAL are now part of the team - case closed.
