Independence Furloughs Flight Crews in Preparation for Possible Closure
Letters were sent on the 23rd and received today by flight and cabin crews. Furloughed effective January 7th, 2006. ALL employees that are still active on the seniority list are being furloughed.
The company retained the right to cancel the furlough prior to the 7th, pending the outcome of the bankruptcy auction.
Bummer of a Christmas present.
A heartfelt sorry to all of my former coworkers in this time of struggle.
