If you got back through the thread, the statement that the predictions about Compass were correct was noted. Brake then rebutted that predictions about furloughs were likely going to be incorrect. I confirmed my original furlough forecast (which from 2007 is a little out of date, but historically accurate).

It is the same forecast.

I readily admit it appears unlikely (and I hope it is). You have to remember that what we read in the news about Delta is usually our performance and trends which are extrapolated from last quarter, which means at best, that news is three to four months behind the actual market and a half year away from the data needed to make staffing prognostications. Based on what I see in the US market the reduction in government subsidies and supports, as well as flat line growth and Delta's long term trends, we are out of the woods as Delta pilots.

Brake Chatter was correct that I made that forecast and I'm just being honest and conceding he is correct.
