No, our management has been either radio silence or outright lying to us for a while now. How lying? Just a couple months ago a chief pilot told me that the training center is gearing up for hiring in the fall and I'll be a captain again soon. All lies. I don't think the chief was lying, I think management lied to him.

We didn't know about this furlough until it was announced. My next guess, and it's just a guess, is that by the end of the year they announce the sale of whatever planes are left that we own and another furlough of 100-200 and 50-100 downgrades.
