2auburn,
Since I'm a youngin' trying to learn a little about this industry, why don't you educate me on how it works. I sympathize with your position as a furlough, but I don't see anything in jarhead's post that flies in the face of good common sense business practices. DAL may have the same passenger loads as before Sept. 11th, but with lower fares, they are pulling in less revenue.
You are right, a contract is a contract, and you DO have a right to be recalled. However, every single DAL stockholder should be asking the same question that jarhead did - can the company afford this, even if its contractually required? I guess we'll soon find out.
I'm glad the 1060 are coming back. I hope DALPA and mgmt can work out an agreement soon, otherwise all the 1060 may have to return to is a Chapter 11 proceeding.
