I disagree. Having been furloughed 5 times in my career, I still remember how awful it feels. As long as people aren't on furlough, guys should fly and work the system as much as THEY want. The company shouldn't hire until the operation is nearly ready to burst. That method is the best way to ensure that we hire just what we need, and avoid putting an airman through the sickening process of furlough.
