I'm still wondering how some of you guys think DAL will run with 500 to 1000 less pilots. BP5 was delayed until AFTER summer 09 because if it was implemented any earlier the NWA side would have been SEVERELY short staffed.

With 777s & MD90s coming I don't see how we could furlough for longer then 2 years. They certainly could NOT justify furloughing 500 to 1000 for only 2 years, plus the airline would be crippled with that many out for any duration.
