This is the deal:

The Midwest thing kept some CA's from being downgraded and reduced about 20-30 FO's from being furloughed in the first place. Remember it was supposed to be about 178 or so furloughs and it was reduced to 140+. This is old news the media is now catching up and re-labeling as a "recall".

No, I don't support the Midwest thing but I'm just a peon stating the facts as I see them, with no vote in the matter....
