I can't think of any 9e pilot that is mad or angry at any XJ furloughee. I did a few sim events with many of you and was happy to see you here as a furlough vs some off the street zero 121 experience guy. What did make us mad was that the company did not give us any longevity bennies for our adjusted hire date (class vs checkride) because they claimed it would cost too much but had no problem letting the XJ furloughs keep their longevity bennies (or even the lack of longevity bennies between us and a 9l/XJ guy of the same general hire date on the combined SLI)....so we were/are mad at the company not the furloughs...although I agree with the other post about the tone of the 1st year pinnacle pay being beneath someone...but every group has their bad apples, 9e, XJ and 9L
