O.F.
Bingo!
You are absolutely correct. Hard to say. I know a lot of furloughees at FDX, UPS, MLOA, etc. Some I thought would never come back, but after talking with some, they seem to be "up in the air" (no pun intended). The last furlough in 1992-1997 we had about 50% return. It's running about the same today. What is confusing the situation is: what are the deferrals going to do?
It's a very subjective and personal issue, but if I had to guess it will be close to the 50-50 number. JMHO
