People are making so much money right now….I doubt many would take unpaid leaves.

I believe you but remember they don't staff for summer. They staff for the shoulder months and stretch during the summer.

IF the rumor is true. How would I know? It means they are planning schedule reductions in the fall. I think that tracks with what's been announced so far.

I still think retirements plus hiring freeze will do the trick. They f* up with last furlough, I doubt they will out themselves in that position again. Playing catch up costs money

Are you referencing the scale-back from "8% growth to 3-3.5% growth?"

Given the current retirement numbers and future deliveries, I'm not buying it. Yes, the company is in a hole of its own making, but the staffing numbers should be somewhat self correcting.

Correct. They staffed for the 8% number thus they are now overstaffed.
