I don't want to be pessimistic but without new A/C for this year, what will happen in November? Will there be a seasonal furlough. Usually this is when the schedule shrinks a little for NK. I hope not but unfortunately for the guys who got recalled this time, there might be some unemployment time again for the end of the year. I hope not though....

The rumor about getting new planes is just a rumor, like we were supposed to get 10 A320 for this spring and finally nothing happened. What I would really like to know is when are we supposed to get those 25-30 new A320s ordered 2 years ago. Nobody seems to know the answer. Those will be the a/c that will trigger a massive recall.

In new hire, they said we'd get planes in 2008. Then it was 2009. Now it's 2011, but we're trying for 2010...any one catch the trend???

I'll be taking the Legacy sized furlough, but with an ULCC to come back to...that is of course if BBB is not lying and we're actually making money.
