While not trying to slight the individual hardships of the affected furlough guys at DCI, those numbers still pale to our post 9/11 height of 1365 furloughees here while they grew their lists by the thousands.
Again, look at our losses for this quarter and I bet they would like to see those pesky guaranteed profit contracts gone. To bad they signed 10 year deals with those carriers. An iron clad scope section could have possibly helped out the powers that be by preventing the very signing of these contracts.
