Stop the hysteria talk...
Seriously, you guys keep talking about a furlough...They are not going to furlough. They would be kicking themselves in the teeth, because they would be furloughing most if not all the FO's they have been trolling for the last year and a half for HKG, not to mention half of the FO's in ANC.
Quit trying to create mass hysteria, I just flew with JS former ACP and he said no furloughs and no displacement bid, and probably a lot more crews per airplane with the 777 due to under/over 60 scheduling. Everyone knows the company runs secret practice bids, and most of the peeps where over 60 or going to be over 60 in a year were the ones who would have been awarded said bid, like upwards of 80%... So relax it's FedEx...LOL

The other is that the 777s come with the Jeppesen EFB and Boeing WILL NOT sell to us without them because of licensing to Jepp. Therefore, they are looking at going back to Jepps for the whole fleet!!??? Good news is that we won't have to carry them, but they will be back in the airplanes and the main source of navigation. Discuss.
