OTZeagle has made his true character known to all of us this week. He has taken a moment of extreme stress and anxiety to pile on with worthless predictions that will only hurt others. We should treat him as such.

Some of our LEC leaders I have real issues with. Our MEC on the other hand are of the finest individuals I have ever met! They will do everything they can to mitigate a furlough. They are super guys, super positive, but the bottom 300 need honesty, and transparency. I have been through this before. You don’t hold guys captive though, waiting on a unicorn. People need to know. Guys that were proactive early last time did really well, those that got caught flatfooted had a real tough time. The models are out there. September Alaska should be flying 75-80 percent of the fleet with 59-65% load factors. The furlough will save the company 85 million a year, they are going to do it. People need to know, people need to be ready. I thought early on we might find the land of unicorns but as this has progressed it looks only way less likely. The numbers are so good you could bet them in Vegas. Sorry for caring, sorry for trying to help. Maybe you are better of holding your breath and making a wish.
And, Alaska I will take no concessions. You wasted billions on share buy backs, I am not your piggy bank!
