First of all, you're an ass. Nobody who was furloughed from Delta, myself included, "elected" to do anything other then find a way for their families to eat for the five plus years we were "elected" by Delta not to be employed. Secondly, none of us can slide into any left seat. In fact, holding a right seat after 9 plus years of seniority can be a challenge. Finally, what Delta retirement do those of us who were furloughed come back to? Nothing! Those of you who remained employed gave that up for BK. None of us junior guys stuck out the bankruptcy generating revenue to keep the company alive...we were gone dude! The hiring started again after BK. Its guys like you who recreate history that cause problems for the rest of us. Do some research or stop posting.
