Well Mesaba did start its decline with the bankruptcy at about 950 pilots. 226 were furloughed. At the end of the bankruptcy all 226 were offered recall. I left at about 890 and came back at about 590. There were about 70 of us that took recall. So you can do the math on how many people just up and quit in addition to the recalls that didn't come back. At the bottom I think our seniority list had shrunk to about 550 or so..... That's almost half gone at the bottom, we have been built back up to about 1150, for now. Though that's still not as much as our peak 10 years ago. I guess technically that wasn't a furlough of half, but it was a loss of about half.
