One of the captains I flew with has been there 7 years with four furloughs under his belt. Oh and rumor around the crew room is that the profit margin on the passenger ops is too small for the new ownership combined with the new rest rules going into effect for passenger operators will equal the end of their passenger ops meaning shrinkage and furloughs.

Alphonso: I literally laughed out loud when I read that. You better stay on your MD-11 or go do passenger ops.
