Hey Mem,

A "no-furlough clause" is not worth the paper it is written on, or the disappearing ink it is written with. There is always a "Force Majeur" escape clause for the company that gives them an instant out.

Ask some of your DAL buds about it.

Regards,
BG

Absolutely!! Looks like some folks are falling for the company strategy - repeat it enough and some will believe it is an inevitable eventuality.

-Our company is very profitable
- our company has excess cash ($3.2B stock buyback)
- Stock is up 80some %
- Positive news in shareholder meetings
- Positive reviews by financial press for profitability & earnings
- Pilots efforts (fuel sense, APU, draft, vol etc) has significantly added to the the express divisions profitability
- New airframes will net efficiencies at a cost of pilot jobs (more NB, less WB, 75/76 common utilization)

There is absolutely NO -ZERO-NADA reason for any concessionary positions.
