And when we have a national downturn, this will happen at all of our bases, except the bottom of the list will probably end up on the streets.
That's not it at all... Rather the fact that we had multiple Houston bubbas informing us that there would never be any bumps that any and all surplus problems would be naturally accounted for through attrition. And it was true because management told them it was.
We tried to tell them that what they were hearing was BS but they knew better. Besides the fact that is was okay they said when it happened to DEN, you know nothing personal it was just business. Apparently it has a different meaning when it happenes in IAH.
