By the same token I also realize it would be a helluva lot cheaper to just give the needed amount of pilots their walking papers</font>
First of all, this is in the wrong forum. Second of all, Delta has been laying off/furloughing pilots. Third, so what if pilots can hold minimum hour lines? Delta FA's can do the same thing if they want too (and they're non-unionized). However, a consequence for anyone that does so is a minimum paycheck. Because of that, I know there aren't many FA's that want to hold a minimum line (ie: on reserve) so I doubt many pilots do either.
