Jay, I'll let Evil defend himself, but I'm guessing he was hired years after this all went down, so his picture of what occurred is about as factual as my view of what happened during the strike. All I know is what I've been told, by both Comair and Delta pilots, and the two versions disagree wildly. If you think you can find out the "truth" by reading this board, you must not follow the Delta L&G thread.
I've heard countless versions of what happened between JC and the DAL MEC. Believe what you want, it doesn't really matter anymore.
But here's the thing - do you really think Comair management decided not to hire Delta furloughs because of what JC Lawson though about it? If anything, had he supported it, Comair management would jumped at the chance to squeeze something out of us in exchange. (This is the same management team than had us stop carrying a small basket of starlight mints because it would save fuel. Seriously.) But of course, JC didn't, so here we are.
My new-hire class had furloughs from American, USAir and others who had resigned their seniority to come to Comair. Some carriers ignored the resignation letters, others didn't.
As you said, water under the bridge.

Thank you for explain it plainly.
Yes I was hired after that debacle. However I'm very good friends -to the personal level- with folks that went thru that, where involved in the talks, and have first knowledge of exactly what happened -and also didn't agree with JC at all-, and their accounts are totally opposite and greatly different from the ones I have heard from DL guys while riding the jumpseat. Jay, whom should I believe?. Anyhow, really no need for you to go. Please stay and lets agree on disagreeing. I do apologize for that anger mgmt comment.

p.s. I have said this before and will re-emphisize it again, my beef is with DL mgmt only. And not having all the eggs in one basket does not apply at the present. They took care of that. So why shamefully dismantle a very efficient revenue stream?.
