Obviously, you were not at Mesa on 9/11. J.O. furloughed a couple of hundred guys. I missed the furlough by 50+/- numbers. J.O. tried to furlough out of seniority in order to save R.J. guys & lay off Beech 1900 guys. He got B1tch slapped on that one & just did a straight furlough. That furlough plus the establishment of Freedumb gave him leverage to screw us big time on the contract.

A year or so ago, Ornstein bragged about never having a furlough. I don't know what the moron was smoking, but I have 5 or 6 good friends who were furloughed for 6-12 months after 9/11 at Mesa.
