These furloughs aren't even taking into consideration the lost american airplanes, so the furloughs for the birds won't happen till later this year, maybe early next year at the latest.

as for gojet, we've already got some idiot FO's making the jump....whining about how they need to "FEED THEIR FAMILIES", far as I'm concerned, let em go....they didn't have the heart, gutts, or balls to be a true waterskier anyway, let em burn with the rest of em....let em all burn.
