Says who exactly and where is the evidence?
MS said during his 73/76 bye bye announcement that he didn’t expect furloughs.
Repeated that on subsequent occasions.
They cancelled a bid award and the VP of the Union came up with 5-600 furloughs.
Long term medical buyouts, early retirement and natural attrition would have taken care of all of that.
Its like trying to get the Vatican to change religions though, people believe what they believe and will defend it to the grave without evidence.
Anyway, no new hires this year.
With Spirit on the brink of collapse and the upcoming recession we’re going to be fat on pilots.
