I think the bottom 300 have the info. You just have to know how to read it.

Furloughs are never broadcast 6 or even 3 months out. Often you get minimum warning. Why? Because no one wants to alarm those affected until the last minute to avoid trouble. It is also dependent on the economy. Right now, for arguments sake, they might be planning on 200 then decide to do more if volume forecasts get worse. Or none if it picks back up. I believe that is what we have been seeing the last 3 months, changes due to declining volume.

The warnings from the union and management are all there, IMHO. More than is usual in this industry. Prepare as best you can.
