And how exactly does consolidated competition, improved fleets to allow more flexibility in deployment and massive retirements upcoming NOT mitigate the potential furlough? Anything could happen to royally screw the current airline structure up and results in furloughs, but to dismiss the positive factors we have on our side to mitigate a furlough shouldn’t be laughed off like they aren’t a big deal.
