You are correct bungler, and I never said that it was fair. Those that wanted back, now are. Doesn't make up the lost cash though, of course. Had the pilot body and the afap been a little more careful with the fine print of the eba, then those drivers would not have had to go to the ejet. (Last on first off would have been exercised) However, as it was interpreted by the company, their choices were go to the ejet or exercise your democratic right to join the unemployed. Most did what was least harmful to their own interests. It is, and until we all stand united, will remain, luck of the draw. Doesn't change the general principle of "You sign it, you live with it".
P.S. Don't forget that even if they didn't want to go, those pilots got something from this company that no one else up to that time had ever received. A free type rating. So it isn't the complete bust that some would have you believe.
