Nothing funny about it. Their Mngt is all about the bottom line. Whatever will drive the stock price. When asked how much savings they would receive by furloughing all the pilots, the answer was $7-9M. That doesn't sound like much when you're canceling flights due to lack of crews. All pilots have now been given class dates for recall & they are planning on hiring 400+ over the next many years. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out. DAL walks away from routes, AK picks them up and this isn't a violation of scope...WTH?
Baja.
