I think you understand my statement and I don't need to clarify the intent of a resignation letter.

All I'm saying is this: I'm sure Comair doesn't care about Mesaba's hiring practices and when the rubber meets the road, when needed, they would like to lure their employees back. If you don't think that's true... well, okay. We'll just have to wait and see what happens when/if it ever happens. I know what I was told... I got the sincere impression that Comair (or at least the CP) wasn't HAPPY about furloughing their pilots and I have a shred of humanity and optimism left in me to think he meant what he said.

I can email him again and see if he's still planning to shred resignation letters if you want?
