See above. It has absolutely nothing to do with PBS. Don't try to blame this on us. In the fall, attrition was running approximately 4%. Given that number, no additional furloughs were needed, and I anticipated hiring again in the summer of 09. However, the number drastically dropped, and was NO WHERE NEAR 4%. I think we've had 4 people leave the company in the last month, and 2 were not pilots. I think a total of 12 people or so have left this year. That is the reason for the furloughs.

I too, initially thought this was due to PBS. But PBS is not even implemented yet, and after making some phone calls and finding out more info, I learned the above. If you have any questions, or want to know more info - please don't hesitate to PM me! I'm here to try to help. This is a very difficult time for all of us, and all I care about is the wellbeing of our folks.
