I came to Silver knowing one of two things would happen: Downgrade or furlough. The downgrade is a mathematical certainty and the way things are trending, I expect the furlough to follow in short order.

I had high hopes for this place… and some days I still do. There have been some noticeable improvements already (hub-basing, better quality hotels, hiring bonuses) but it seems to be a day late and a dollar short. Here's to hoping for continued improvements and success in the new year.
