Contract 2016?
 
Does anyone think the fact that 46 Furloughees recently resigned might make a difference one way or another in the next section 6.

On one hand, guys generally did not resign from DAL in the past. While a great place to work, it ain't what it used to be.

On the other hand, guys are lining up by the thousands to get hired.

Food for thought.

The industry is not what it used to be, deregulation started the change. The resignations should have no meaning for section 6. It's a job nothing more, nothing less.

Imho, it doesn't matter. We are just a cost item on the balance sheet. As much as some want to believe we are valued "partners", we are not. Management looks at us a as any other cost to be managed, no more and no less than the cost of peanuts, cokes, etc. Don't take it personal, it's just business.

If they were furloughed for a week or a month and they resigned, it would be a data point. What was the shortest to the longest length of time these people were furloughed? They moved on.

For DAL guys, it was at least five years. Hardly a data point. I'm surprised you don't know what a lot of us went through.

You honestly think guys were furloughed for a week or a month? Wow.

Buzz,
I was fortunate to never have been furloughed. However, what I don't know are the specific dates of each furlough (without research) and the respective bypasses by each person within those dates.

You changed your post after I quoted it. No, I never thought anyone was just furloughed for a week or a month. I was using extreme time spans to make the point that people moved on. Even after rereading my post I don't know how you took it any other way.
