Word spread quickly through the crew force and the bottom altered their commuting and/or work plans to prevent being stranded by that benovelent employer ...

There will have to be something presented after 22 May. Why would anyone with a furlough letter leave home? I suppose they could just get rid of all 170 on 22 may and pick up the pieces and contract the rest. They'll have 4 months til peak.

There are reports of UPS management breaking into crewmembers hotel rooms to intimidate them into taking trips. This appears to be happening in ANC.
