I agree. We may get lucky enough that they may decided to hold off. These are hoped to be short term capacity cuts. They might decided to just SIL the heck out of the winter months. 2010 looks a lot rosier than this year.
Like I stated, they will more than likely only furlough what they can keep on the street for a year or two.

FWIW, they are still going with the party lines of no furloughs yet. We will see if that changes later this week.
