Any way you look at it, it is still a net loss of airplanes in the fleet at Omni...short term or not. That means fewer bodies required to operate that smaller fleet...right?
Again, I'm not in any way endorsing the furlough...quite the opposite, actually, since I have been on the receiving end of one of those phone calls or letters, etc from the Chief Pilot. I'm sure, many of you have experienced the same thing.
I do sincerely hope that anyone affected by this is recalled at the earliest opportunity...pilots, fe's, fa's, mx, etc.
