We furloughed after 9/11 only because CAL sent all their pilots down to us. It was part of the flow threw agreement that was canceled by CAL in June of 01 and then it was set back up after 9/11 ( thank you ALPA ) so that the CAL pilots could come back to Express and have jobs. Our pilots were on furlough for about 2 years.

Hopefully we will start furloughing again early next year to make everyone at the other regionals happy. It would greatly help everyone elses contracts if we go the same path as Comair and Masaba.
