Jay,
I think you misunderstood. Didn't mean to insinuate furloughs were going to happen, just what the next step may be to prevent them. Also, wasn't being sarcastic about our management. I think they are doing a great job!!!
Sorry if I came off wrong, you know how the printed word can be misunderstood. I feel that SKW has been trying to prevent furloughs for some time now. We've been overstaffed on the CRJ since last fall while our RJ flying as continued to decline. I'm happy to see how proactive our Mgmnt team is and how willing they are to dip into the bank (I think we’re near $1B) to keep their employees employed. But if Midwest completely goes under or cancels our contract in hole and UAL continues to decrease our flying as well as DAL then I see no other alternative but to F a few hundred pilots.
BTW, you obviously know me…………………do I know you? If I do and I’m drawing a blank then forgive me, it’s 11:30 pm and my little girl finally went to bed.
