(don't get me wrong, you guys deserve your planes back, however, as a pilot group, i'd be scared about getting them back)
What are you on?
Getting the planes back is EXACTLY why we never had any plans to furlough. Along with zero/part time lines, Severence packages and LOA's, We have mitigated any need for a furlough. I for one never even heard any ACTUAL talk of a furlough. Just a lot of rumors.
But getting those planes back creates MORE jobs for EAGLE pilots. I just dont see how you can think otherwise. Yes AMR could not furlough Eagle pilots while they are out-sourcing to TSA and RAH, but the ten planes create more opportunity on our side to do the feed for American.
