In addition better thought out no furlough provisions almost certainly prevented any furloughs in 2009. I would call that helping.

Can you elaborate for us lacking the history?

First time in my life I’ve seen actual airline compliance with the WARN Act-I’d imagine other work groups are about to get furlough notices in large numbers as well. I thought it was about as enforceable as the Logan Act. Good for Delta. (No sarcasm at all)
Also, no concessions. Furloughs are an ugly reality in this business...at least everyone has had months to prepare.
Concessions are a sucker’s bet anyway.
