990,
The company may still furlough the nuggets where they are.
They can get an excess award, be waiting for training then, wham, furlough from ANC. Never say Never.
This BS about the economy improving at the end of the year is nothing to count on. If volume picks up a small percentage of the fall we have seen, they will call it a miraculous recovery. We'll still have a horrible overmanning situation for a year or more after.
And I agree the upper echelon aren't going to go to the mat to stop this. Which is why I think a furlough is coming. I don't think you are looking at this situation in the context of current events.
