Yup, by Summer (actually it was Spring), Hale back peddled to ensure he was not cramping Horton's strategy. You'll note the continued negotiations referenced at that time. We remained terribly short-staffed that summer and beyond. If 400 pilots were to be furloughed, they would have been furloughed. This was 18 months prior to Parker taking over and during that time not only were they not furloughed, but recalls and flows along with street hiring commenced at a later date. Again, the arbitration panel will ferret this out and apply it any way they see fit in the final hybrid list. My gut says this unquantified hypothetical won't even make the radar screen.
