If we do furlough, that means that nothing is in the works. I'm confident that current management values management/pilot relationships and is trying to maintain a good one.
I meant it figuratively speaking. They could have a while ago, I understand that but the projection is getting worse. BH said earlier this week "we experienced significant cuts this past year and next years projection looks much the same." The week earlier he said ASA was in meetings all week with delta about our future. Aside from Mesa going away unexpectedly, doesn't the earliest united express contract terminate in dec 09? I just think that everyone at the bottom of the list is expecting it at this point because of rgt rumors, reading in between the lines of the company kool aid and future DL cuts. Wouldn't you rather know one way or another?
