Don't worry, porpilot. The furlough talk usually pops up here on APC every 6-8 weeks or so, for no real reason.
Normally, someone predicts either:
1.) The price of oil shooting up,
2.) A stock market crash, or
3.) Both, as the reason for our impending cuts.
The thing that should give you comfort is that no pilot in the history of aviation has ever accurately predicted:
1.) What will happen with the stock market
2.) The future price of anything, or
3.) His or her company's intention to furlough.
I say you should just ignore all the talk of doom and gloom and assume that some are a little grumpy because their field goal kicker missed a kick, their presidential candidate underperformed in Iowa, or both, and carry on.
