Isn't 2004 the year that DALPA won the FMII arbitration (grievance) and start bringing guys back?
Second question, the No GS thing was a court order and Delta was trying to get out of C2K prior to it's amendable date. Do you think there was leverage to do a no GS campaign and have the court order removed and not start affecting C2K for the pilots still at work?

As to your first question, yes the recalls for the first group of furloughs started in July 2004. The Gulf War furloughs (2nd group) were already back on the property with back-pay by this time.
As to your second question, I do not know. Perhaps Slowplay, or another of the more in the know guys, can answer that one.

How many jets could have been reduced by not salvaging Pinnacle/Endeavor? Seems there are other ways these 50 seat obligations (many under contracts approaching their expiration date) could have been reduced. You choose to propagate the management solution which is not the most beneficial outcome for Delta mainline pilots.

You choose to ignore reality. Your view would have not been the most beneficial outcome for Delta mainline pilots.

Johnso, you're correct, but I believe your timing is off. PCL had a real liquidity problem, and absent Delta financing they would have liquidated. The serious counter-offers came about after the new PCL business plan was formulated, and after our contract was in place, if memory serves.
