Default He said we should be happy?

S i was sitting in arpt a few days ago waiting to commute to work and a FNWA guy and i were talking. He said that us (Delta) should be happy with the outcome of the SLI. Now, while I'm not terribly upset and most DAL guys are not too twisted about its outcome, why should in his eyes I be "Happy". I'm not the one who got a large raise (Years of longevity credited for furlough). Brought up to DAL contract standards, (to the point of requiring hiring possibly), and got to keep the pension? All this while getting to bid into our hubs where people want to live while I get to add choices like DTW and MEM.
Like I said I dont think I got it too bad but, is their end of the deal really sooo bad he felt the need to tell me I made out "like a bandit"?

My next question: What did the average DAL pilot actually get from this? a 5% raise and a contract extension and an average loss of 2% in system seniority is all i see. I hope he was an exception not the rule as to the feelings over there
Enlighten me por favor
