I agree with Bored. It is definitiely way too premature at this point to be discussing furloughs at Mesaba. People seem to be forgetting Mesaba still got 5 more CRJ900s. 100 pilots to fat today can turn into 100 pilot too short in less than a few weeks depending on how things play out by DAL management. And if they do furlough, would furloughing 100 or so pilots justify the cost? I don't know.
