Furloughs in the airline industry is not anything new.
See that's the problem! It's like a broken record repeating itself over and over. It's not supposed to be about the top 500, it's suppossed to be about the pilot group as a whole; from most junior FO to the most senior CA. The cycle needs to be broken and a new LEC and MEC elected who will fight for the whole pilot group. Delta knows what's going on and they're the ones calling the shots. They're really not happy with the Comair MEC and will continue to exhert pressure.
