What a joke - I hope she laughed her ass off!

Oh wait, thats right - we are supposed to forget that DAL screwed us and be one happy family now.

I remember thinking after my first of 5 furloughs: "Wait a minute...I thought you said I was family!"

Even back in 1979, managements were using that "family thing" as they saw fit. I sure remember a mother-in-law that I would have furloughed in a heartbeat!
