Putting up a fight would have been a much better strategy than sitting around and waiting to see if somehow the flying will just magically reappear. With attitudes like this you will never get the flying back. With high oil prices, increased regional domestic flying like this and any other of a million different scenarios I would not be surprised to see furloughs in the near future. Totally unexpected, yes, but look at what happened at United. Then maybe the troops will get fired up at Delta about scope.
United parked 94 737's to right size for their merger with CAL. Regional feed is decreasing dramatically. Fifty seaters are being parked at a rapid rate, & Mainline is taking more airplanes. We didn't furlough in 2008/2009, so I'm not sure where your logic coming from since there are LESS RJ's now then there were then.
