I hear you, but the point was that in 2005 not many guys took the voluntary option who were senior to the theoretical furlough cut-off. The guys who took the option took it cause they wanted benefits. I just don't want guys to get their hopes up that senior folks are going to take the option to furlough.
Besides, I honestly think we are not going to furlough 300. No real data to back that up, just a feeling.
