You know, 176 FOs in STL does seem a bit high? Highest I've seen thus far, last month, we had 14x of them. I guess attrition stopped and when the last 2 months classes came out it fattened us up pretty good.

I can see a bit of a problem if we are losing flying. But, regardless of what Hulas thinks, being fat is an asset, to a point. The question may just come down to how fat is still cost effective. If they did furlough, it'd probably just be the last class or two of folks rather than those of us who've been out on the line for a while. Just their way of undoing the fact that they were too slow in reading the signs and canceling those classes.
