Do I understand you correctly that you think that people that were hired and then furloughed almost immediately were not 'screwed over'?
Your comparison to those that tend to try to shift blame for their bad circumstances is incongruent. How on earth do you compare someone that has had too much to drink and blaming his circumstances on the bartender to an individual that has in good faith accepted a job offer from Comair?
Everyone makes mistakes, myself included. You deserve a mulligan for this one.
