I was told by a SAPA rep last Friday that the numbers being thrown around are 150-250 furloughs come fall. They don't want to furlogh now because the EMBs are at normal staffing. Once they start parking them in a couple of months then we'll have an excess in that category.

Their trying to keep training cost at a minimum. I guess they've figured out it will take 9 months and $750,000 to get everyone qualified for their new seat when displacements happen. 75-125 captain downgrades was also a number I heard.

Block hours in the fall are suppose to be down 6-10% from March levels.

They may need to hire flight attendants in the near future because the junior ones are going on 2 years of reserve. With no chance of being a line holder in the future the attrition rate is high.
