Well, as some of you know, I work for Delta Air Lines. I have been here for 8 years. They have transferred me from my home in Milwaukee Wisconsin, to Atlanta Georgia. At the time, I was not making any money, and had no benefits. I am currently making a good living, and love my job, and the company. However, last evening our COO siad that layoffs would be announced next week. It is estimated to be around 16,000 people, 6,000 here in Atlanta alone. They are going to offer early retirements, and Voluntary Release with benefits. I know 16,000 people will not go for this. Their is a good possibility that I could lose my job. I went throught the same thing back in 1995. I survuved that, and hope I can survive this time. Rumor is that anyone with under 5 years will be gon. This includes lots of my friends.

I am not writing this as a sob story. I am simply letting you know what is happening in my life. If I lose my job, I will probably end up in Tampa Florida, and will not be part of this board.

If that happens, I just want to let you all know that I have had fun.
