At one point one of the guys made a comment about me being senior to him. I explained that no, he was actually senior to me ( me fNWA, hired in late 99, him fDAL early in 01). He acted like I was out of my mind. I explained to him what had happened in the SLI and he was incredulous. I think his quote was "that ain't right." I had to just shake my head and change the subject at that point.
I find it hard to believe that he didn't know this if he was a fDAL pilot. Everyone knows where they are. More than likely, he was playing dumb so as not to step on toes. I was hired 01/01 and am slotted in with the fNWA late '99 hires. I am also very cognizant of the fact that there could be hard feelings about it so SLI discussions are now on my verboten list along with politics and religion.
