Maybe because they have many years of loyal service to NWA/Delta and they made a single terrible decision. They landed the aircraft safely and no one was hurt. They will lose a year's worth of salary which would certainly hurt me quite a bit. You don't treat people like disposable resources and throw them out when it is convenient.
