First, the ATL flying is still small enough to absorb back into DTW/MEM and bring us to normal staffing levels (rather than understaffed).

Second, when the new TA is passed, it will result in several work rule changes that will require increased head count.

The only way we furlough is if we start to lose NW flying. I was denied a trip trade this month switching a 4-day highspeed for a 4-day trip in overtime... Why? Because a 4-day highspeed requires 5 days of reserves instead of 4, and they couldn't lose that 1 FO reserve. We're definitely still understaffed.
