Company rumor mills are not the best source of information at this point if you take into consideration the doom and gloom management portrays in this economy to try to get everyone to perform better. I know 10 year captain's who are applying for other jobs because they believe it.

With that said, I think the furloughs are pretty much complete. If we can survive this winter without anymore furlough's I think pilots will be in a better situation come spring.

I also hope that if this new airline legislation passes, that it will create a higher staffing need at a majority of the regional’s.. hopefully this will get some of our furloughed guy's back to work. Time will tell.
