IMHO, the only way we'd see a furlough is IF something really bad happens, 9/11 or depression. Currently there is ALOT going on and retirements are quickly getting closer. By this fall we'll be at 3 years into the age 65 rule change and guys will start dropping like flies. Also consider that the company thus far, if thinking about staffing, they have offered leaves and early outs. All of that would happen first in the UNLIKELY event of needed fbombs.

Training alone is going to kick the airlines butt and the constant realignment of planes and people will keep this airline on its toes going forward. IMHO we've made it over the hump
