Archie Bunker said:Hopefully, that comment was not directed at me personally, because I no longer fly for Delta. Pertaining to your comment about "plenty of people who will take my place," I understand that the short notice recall list is down to 60 something people, is that correct? ..................Why do you think it is that all those furloughees are bypassing recall to the Mothership? Serious question.
michael707767 said:first of all, no not directed at you personally and I didn't mean it the way it sounded.
I understand coming back to be on reserve in NYC is not a good deal. Frankly, if I had a decent job on the outside, I would bypass until I could hold something better.
Having said that, I am sure there are also people who have not been as lucky on the outside and will jump at the chance to come back. And I am sure others, if you live in NYC or ATL for example, don't really care about being on reserve. Plus, its all relative. A buddy of mine is furloughed and flying for Kalitta. He hate's it and will come back as soon as it's offered. Is Delta what it used to be? No. Is it still better than some options. Yes. However, the choice is yours, and I respect either decision.
Why do I think people are bypassing? Here goes. First, I think Delta did a great job of hiring quality people. And I think the majority of these people have done very well outside of Delta. So no need to come back. Second, I know a lot of people went back into the military, and will stay til retirement now. Third, I think there are people who plan on coming back, but why not wait until your seniority allows you a better quality of life. Last, I think there is a group who just plain don't want to leave a stable job until they know for sure Delta is going to survive.
Those are my thoughts on it? Anything else to add?
