True. From what I understand before I got furloughed from Comair is the anger towards the OH pilot group has to do with the MEC's refusal to take furloughed Delta pilots without first resigning their Delta seniority number. In addition to that, the RJDC was in full swing... and we all know that wasn't helping anything.
I'm saddened that those affected would just write off all Comair pilots because of this. Many of us have been hired post 2001, as for me, I was only 16 years old when the strike and Delta furlough occurred. Had I been around during that time, I would have absolutely voiced my disapproval toward the total lack of compassion and disregard for furloughed Delta brothers and sisters. I would just like everyone to know that the decisions made by a certain past MEC does NOT reflect the opinions of everyone currently working there or furloughed from there.
