Trying to make a decision based on that information is like trying to predict when the Yellowstone super volcano is going to erupt.
True, United has furloughed twice in the last 15 years and Delta hasn't, but the airline business turns on a dime sometimes. Who is to say the situations can't/won't be reversed?

Thanks

Early to mid 90s, about 500 furloughed due to industry downturn.
Early to mid 2000s about 1300 furloughed due to 911 and subsequent industry downturn.

FWIW, this "safety net" was likely what prevented a small furlough in the 2009ish time frame due to the financial implications.

Trying to predict the future by looking at the past is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no headlights while looking out the back window!
Consolidation has made this industry very very different thanks at any time in the past. It is totally ludicrous to look at the the past and try to predict the future!

Asking a question on APC that would have anything negative in the response about Delta is like trying to walk a tightrope over a swamp full of crocodiles with low self esteem who for some reason are asking for wind checks seconds after receiving one, while also transmitting PA's on guard.
It was a simple question fellas. Didnt imply anything negative about either airline nor any future decisions to be made.
