No Connflyer that is wholly incorrect. As stated above by HRDiva, they started in the beginning of 2002, the cuts you refer to WERE THE THIRD ROUND OF CUTS experienced by staff such as FA's. Don't let facts stand in the way of your argument. As for the second paragraph, sorry, but complete crap. I do not recall the FA's or anyone else getting 32%+ increases in mid-2001. Your sophistry is crap as DL pilots are making EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY that they were earning in mid 2001, furthermore almost every single DL pilot pre-2001 that wants/wanted to work could have done so from mid-2003, the same does not apply to almost anyother employee group. Everyone else that remains (other than pilots) is making 30% LESS than they were making in 2001.

If what you state represents the pilots position, and that is all you can come up with, the pilots truely as selfish and self-centered as I thought.
