I'm thinking it will be flat, with maybe a few airlines here and there making a few recalls for summer flying. But I can't a see a mass recall then.
Mesaba is furloughing because we are beginning to park our "core 49 Saab fleet"
Anyone still believe that bs line from the bankruptcy? By 2012 we will be a core 0 Saab fleet.... Otherwise yea anywhere Delta can cut 50 seaters (or outright get out of a long term contract) they will right now...... As for what happens after SOC at mainline, well maybe that end of the world at 2012 may not be that far off course, who knows.
