No, If saying Chillax is enough to cause a problem with anyone, then that person is wound too tight or too self absorbed.
The reality of this industry, over the past 35+ years, is that very few of us has had that Golden career we all dreamed of one day when we were in our teens and 20's. If anyone thinks that another demographic benefited at their expense, that, in my opinion, is very myopic.
And I can say that because I was hired Oct 2000. Furloughed for 3 years and 2 months and have enjoyed 2 years of positive movement in my 13 years here. There are plenty of reasons for the stagnation and backward sliding, and furloughs, but our fellow pilots are not the cause.
Anyway, have a great night.

HVCs have better real-time scheduling info than we do (not to mention their access to better real-time weather info with wi-fi in the back).
What a joke. If we performed at Delta IT's level, this company wouldn't exist.

In many contracts today and prior to about 2001 at Delta furlough time did not count for anything. DALPA was the first union to push for and get longevity credit for furlough time. For those on long furloughs it is very significant improvement. It made for some nice pay bumps also for some NW pilots. They did not have it in their contract.
It also used to be and perhaps still is that if you took a voluntary leave you also lost seniority. That surprised at least one person I know.
