Is it true, or just AMR dirty politics...
My guess is no (additional) pilot furloughs since recalls of previous furloughees are on-going (albeit at a trickle) and the f'd up company is reeling from the recent mass of pilot retirements. Regarding the threat of furlough, other employees groups are what they are referring to, I think.
Nice of AMR to name the greedy pilots and their unjust retirements as the reason for the capacity reduction, and assumed upcoming furlough of other employee groups. Spreads a little more hate and discontent amongst the employees, which is always nice, especially as the holidays approach.
