I couldn't imagine it cheaper to furlough rather than hold on to an extra 100 guys unless they plan on getting rid of some of the planes. Imagine ALL the training events going on and how expensive it is to train someone on a new plane. That sounds expensive. I wonder if they do furlough then the next step would be to lose airplanes. I hate Delta.
