What was your status during the strike in 81?

Just curious - I'm a Pilot (private/IFR) so I know some ATC types and
most were hired after the strike.

I spent 20 months "on the street." I eventually won my appeal (we all
appealed) and was reinstated.

As a matter of fact, I just met last week with a couple of hundred
fellow controllers from the Class of '81 during which we commemorated
the 25th anniversary.

If you can't figure out how to use it, I probably wouldn't
care to correspond with you anyway.
