Not necessarily. I have a friend that was Trans States, I was XJT. We both quit the airline industry in 05. Quit, middle finger and all. You know how people say "if you don't like it, QUIT." Well, I did. I was sick of it and if you looked at Delta at that point in time it was very gloomy to ever get hired here. We both went on to do other things and we're both here at Delta.
We talk a lot and one of the things that comes up is "thank God I'm here." And I don't mean it as a flippant statement because divine intervention was necessary for either of us to be here and we are so very thankful that it worked out.
That said, it is that much better and it is why those of us who came from the regionals want to rectify it. We're not pulling up the ladder, we're dropping it down.

That was the key paragraph, I sure as hell hope our lawsuit sheds some light on what was going on in DC when it came to this slot swap.
