Secondly, AE is not going to be furloughing as a result of this. Yeah, LAX closed and that sucks, but no jobs are being lost as a result. In fact, last I heard, the furloughs were being recalled.
Roughly 12 Skywest ground handling stations were closed and given to Eagle. Jobs were lost but because it's just a bunch of lowly rampers nobody here really cares.
