I am sure there are no furloughs on the horizon. But I do believe Maury is a prick and is basing his plans on it being so. He is also putting a lot of faith in the school because some ex flight attendant who he has promoted (probably - most of his support staff are made of this) has told him there will be 250 pilots per year available and desperate to work for him.
Look, I have said for more than 12 months both here and online that the only message from Vegas is "don't leave - better is just around the corner". Its so 'regional' and has been repeated ad nauseum. The sad part is when the union has signed agreements to work harder to get a new contract and released it to the pilots. All this does is stop the weak minded ones who want to go else where but actually believe the crap stay for a few more months and complete a few more flights. The union needs to put on their big boy pants and stop joining in the propaganda, and those who ***** online "give us more updates" should realizes that they are contributing to the problem.
A new contract will only come when MG wants it. Never before. And while the share price is so low (by design I think) he will buy up all he can. The most profitable airline with over 65 financial quarters without loosing money, loses money when every other airline makes money. And that's not intentional? Of course it is!
But yes MG is a fool thinking furloughs are coming or that flight school students will help him. Its just dumb
