I don't know if we can drop the F bomb just yet I think the company is just trying to see how many people they can get off the payroll to save a few dollars in April. They knew what the staffing would be when Delta gave the 10 900's to ASA so at that point if they thought they needed to furlough I don't think they would have waited.

I also think the main reason they are doing TOWOP for almost all positions is because starting in April they will take 7 of our planes a month for new paint. I am on a trip with a senior 900 CA right now and he was told by the "boss man" that come this summer there will be lots and lots more flying for us.
