And how does the new work rules fit into all of this?
Any chance of the dreaded F-word happening?
FB, to try and answer your question........ a 5% wont cause (IMO) any furloughs. Too expensive for the company. BUT, the ALV will surely drop. Less flying, less hours, less $ in our pockets.
And if this TA passes (god forbid), the company must give a minimum of 90 days notice. I dont think DAL will furlough someone in Jan, and bring them back on in Apr.
Again, just my opinion.
