I guess my point was, that while many years removed from what you are going through now, Emory pilots faced all the same struggles and uncertainties that go along with unemployment. In speaking with the 3 former Emory guys I know, they thought they might have had a shot at a job at UPS following what happened between the two companies (again, my history is a little fuzzy, so correct me if I am wrong). For whatever reason, they did not get that opportunity, and ended up on the street.
