So the market has taken a huge dump recently. The chance of a double dip is starting to rear it's ugly head. However, management doesn't appear to be worried. Could it be that 305 pilots is the amount of bodies we could bring on without having to furlough?

Are they selling these WO's for the sole purpose of eliminating the flow agreements? Are these agreements what prevented furloughs last time? It doesn't seem so to me. There has to be more benefit to selling them then just eliminating the flow. Less costs, no DOT fines for violating 3 hr rule, less FFD contracts & more at risk contracts....

Ugh. My head is spinning. I can't see us hiring if management is worried about a double dip. They seem confident in profitability for 2010.
