I wasn't there at the time, I believe the MEC had a statement to the effect that they supported the companies policy of seniority resignation. Now the rumor is that the MEC didn't want to spend bargaining capital on changing a policy unless they recieved soemthing from the DAL MEC (like more planes)

I for one am glad we didn't hire the delta guys at that time, because all it would have done is caused a bunch of training for our company to write in the books. Rant over for me...BTW when I get a chance to fly with a real delta guy, nothing will be mentioned of Comair.
I think the MEC should of passed a resolution like the ones they pass for soemthing as small as "pass benefits" that said the encouraged the hiring of DAL furloughs without seniority resignation. At least that would have been something. Then again I wasn't around when this happened and don;t know what went down and given the people in power at the time(same people in power for the first 2yrs I was here) I wouldn't be surpised if more than 3/4 of the pilot group didn't either

Given the present state of our company, I can't see how hiring DAL furloughs would have hurt us, who knows maybe it owuld have helped us as the DAL pilots would be more willing to listen to our plight.

Dal guys I have had on the jumpseat of flights that I have worked have been great and a good change of pace to the some of the *****ing that goes down. Nothing like listening to the guy next to you complain about the new pass privelages for 3 straight days and how Delta is screwing him and how he is technically a Delta pilot.
