Sorry to the Mesaba guys, but I think most of us saw it coming when DL announced the reassignment of the CRJ900s, and now cutting the Saab fleet. I'm not sure, but I bet if they would have gotten the CRJ900s instead of giving them to ASA, the furlough number would have been smaller. Now, also imagine some of us furloughed Comair guys would have actually started class back at the beginning of the year. I don't know if I could have handled 2 furloughs in one year.
Like I mentioned a few posts back. "It will get worse before it will get better". At least the Mesaba guys will have options of Voluntary Furloughs. We didn't get crap at Comair.
