I don't have the numbers, but I'll buy the fact that June 09 was the same prior to LOA 46. But we're not talking about 09. We don't have anybody furloughed in 09 (save the bypass folks)
How did the numbers of say 97-01 compare with 2002, 03, 04 and 05? Contract changes accounted for their portion, sure. But we also parked all the old 73s, the 1011 and the 727s. Meanwhile some 2000 guys retired and DCI exploded, yet we remained out.
Your saying that one had nothing to do with the other? Really?
