I think this talk about furlough is being blown way out of proportion. Based on my ACP we really aren't over manned by as much as we think (he said 100 in early December, throw in age 65/economy add maybe 200 more - FDAs). I certainly don't think a reduction in BLG from 86 to 60 and 68 to 48 would be in the cards. That would be a overall reduction of 30% when we are at the most probably 5% over manned do to age 60, and the economy. Now throw in the FDA planning and that cuts that number even more.

I guess I'm not to worried about it at this point based on one FCIF that stated furlough wasn't in the cards at this point.
