If furloughs are going to happen, I think there will have to be substantial MD to the 88B seat first......am I way off base ??
We would have to. Could be done in the Jan bid.
I agree, we are full. They upgraded a 7ER to a 777 this week from ATL to JFK. I was upgraded from a 75E to a 7ER on a trans con. Every seat is filled and I may break guarantee this month. That is strange for reserve in the fall. I think it is great.
We are pulling a jet out of the desert tomorrow, so I am not yet sold on 10% of this list getting the axe next fall. We may cut some, but I cannot see the 10% that the rumors are calling for. I may be wrong, and if I am there is not one bloody thing you can do about it. Managers will manage and we as pilots will respond.
We need to work on what we can control. I do not see a pay cut to save jobs. Simply put you take any more and it gets real ugly. I think they know that.
