Why would they be? As a business RAH is there to make money. As an employment group that is exactly what they want from the company. RAH loaning money to anyone has no relation to furloughs. Furloughs are based on staffing levels for the amount of flying we have. We currently don't have any new flying so staffing levels are not changing. The loan is purely a financial move to keep RAH a strong company. The fact that RAH has the ability and capital to make such investments gives the Union(aka us) more leverage in our contract negotiations.
