What it means is that if there are a lot more FO's that CA's displaced they are fat staffing the junior categories so that they can furlough if they need to.
The updating resume, is in reference to if you see 800 FO's and 400 CA's on the 88. IE if this happens update the resume.

IMHO what that means is SLC and ATL are on the chopping block.

I always said, that the first few years would lead to some interesting results. If we can get to the end of 2011 with no furloughs. I think we will do quite well.
I know we need to press the weight certification issue with the RAH jets. That is a must. Add to that, we need to keep all remaining flying and recapture what we can. Adding pilots to this group will make us stronger in the contracts to come.

, we would continue domestic and international like oldDelta. Then I had breakfast with a couple of ER guys from LAX that said they were told we are going all international like old NWA. Soooooooo, guess we will see eh? Flexibility is the key to marketing power?Ferd
PS congrats to us for 10,000! How many did we waste on SLI predictions back in "the day".

the closer we get to the age 65 full effect point the better. By next year we should start seeing more and more start dropping off.
