Thanks for coming back with the company tag line, and so quickly. Well played too. Just vague enough with the "well known issue" makes it plausible. Not buying it! This was driven by a reduction of block hours during a high travel forecast month. Doesn't have anything to do with aircraft delays. This is the third month in a row we've had these voluntary furloughs.
