A few things to note about the email:

1. I wonder what the details are for said "bridge program" to mainline.
2. There will be pay and benefits to those furloughed.
3. Projections for 2013 are 150 furloughs.

Of primary interest is that it's 150 furloughs in 2013. The CRJ-900s can't be delivered until the 717's start coming, and they don't start being delivered until Sept 2013. So, it's leaving a lot unsaid by only talking about 2013. The pain would come in 2014 when the vast majority of the 717s are delivered.

Read between the lines in these memos, as you all should know.
