I would also say furloughs are inevitable but I don't think we will see a notice posted tomorrow or anytime in the next month but who knows. According to our contract a voluntary furlough will be offered first before they can just toss guys on the street. The union email made it seem like they pretty much had the signature from the company on HTL and they were moving forward with Extended TOWOP. It seemed very promising that both HTL and ETOWOP would be bid options for the month of July. I think the union would like to see how many people actually take advantage of these new options and I HOPE the company wants to do the same. Once you start hearing of the instructors being called back to the schoolhouse the furlough notices won't be far behind.

Optimistic note.... it seems like the Delta planning department changes their mind whenever someone passes gas. So we can all hope that something changes between now and the end of summer or hope Taco Bell is the restaurant of choice for delta planning!!!
