Our staffing levels are where they need to be for this coming summer and the industry is on a slow rebound. Flying is being shifted back to mainline and 50 seaters are getting shed. Furloughs have a break even point at 22 months (per mgmt) and that point has come and gone.

I could go on and on about why furloughs arent going to happen (barring some major event). After 9/11 the airlines got hammered while the rest of the economy had pretty big expansion so when the economy tanked the airline industry had almost a decade jumpstart on the recession to cut costs and save cash. Thats why the airlines are even making it right now. The RJ bubble burst and the majors have already cut back so much that theres not alot more room to cut without severely disabling the system.

My point in jumping in on this discussion is that here lately there have been more and more people coming onto this forum to not add to discussions but to disrupt discussions.

BTW, I dont "have it all figured out", what i do have is info to back up my statements and I dont just pop in on discussions to lob grenades
