Come on now, SP! Do you think DAL would hire based on a JPWA that hasn't even been negotiated yet? 
But I should know better than to argue with the great and powerful SP92, who has far more insight into DAL than anyone who actually works there.

Any furloughs would be short term because of the soon to be new DAL staffing and work rules as well as the new planes coming on both sides. We shall see.

Some did go to the widebodies. Most of them took the plane that gave them the best QOL in the base they wanted. Everyone is different
