Who knows at this point? I can’t see the current or any administration letting 10’s of thousands of furloughs 1 month prior to an election happen. An extension of the current deal till December 1 wouldn’t surprise me. Demand, early retirements, deferred lease payments, and general economic picture is a little unclear at the moment.
