There is nothing I can do today, to prepare for the eventuality in 2012 or beyond when all the saabs will be gone.

It's funny... for good news everyone is so cautious and it's "I'll see it when I believe it." But not with bad news. Everyone is talking as if the saabs are already gone. Last time I checked, we're not even done with 2009. The 23rd plane to leave the fleet will happen in December of 2010. Lots of time...


Because for many of us the downgrades/furloughs will come LONG before December 2010. Just ask the people that just were named on the lists posted last night how they feel about their jobs related to the first 10 being gone in December 2009. I couldn't care less about December 2010 because I will likely be downgraded with the first batch in early 2010 along with many others...
