If I were management I would say/do the same thing! Guess what? We start contract negotiations in the fall and mgmt. wants concessions. The majority of furloughees are desperate for a job or want to go back flying an RJ, so they will be the first ones to vote yes for a crappy contract if mgmt. says agree to this or you we will have to furlough again, because we are still too expensive and there is an "unexpected" drop in block hours and DL is re-assigning our aircraft come March '11, etc.
