My friend, it may not be a positive thing, but it stops the rash of negatives items we have been getting for a while. Attrition is a good thing as long as people are leaving to other venues (and we both know the large majority of those are doing so). First of all, I don't think there will be 35 furloughs (if there are any at all). Secondly, if it happens, it'll be late this year. I'm sure the new contract will be done by then, which at that point all bets are off.
