Last year they continued hiring FAs as we scrambled to avoid sending "500" pilots to the street. We ended up tossing 147 pilots to the curb. Now here we are a year later and when this whole new furlough thing started to unfold it was made clear early on that "NO flight attendant furloughs" were going to occur. Now we have a system bid that chops EWR 737 and sends a majority of the leftovers to IAH. And what of the EWR FA's? Nothing.

This reaks of Status Quo violation.

Boneman, Have you personally actually inquired about that to Pierce?
