The senior DL guys, IMO, gave much to save as many junior guys as possible and went out of their way to try an support those they couldn't save.
I am a Jr guy and FWIW, I think Compass was a "c" scale deal, however, with out them I am almost certain I would be on the street. When you furlough from mainline you furlough from Compost, thus doubling your training costs.
One other rant, for the guys that lost their retirement-why were you counting on it anyway. I think it was the worst thing to happen in my life to see people losing their retirement, however, if I were in that position; I would have never counted on it. Just like I don't count on the government taking care of me when I retire.
