This does not include any sort of revenue increase or voluntary cost saving measures that could otherwise be implemented.
Let's be clear, Delta does not have to furlough. If they truly believed in their own values, they would have tried other measures before jumping straight to the nuclear option, or simply bit the bullet and tried keeping us on staff until things really get dire, working towards a future where things never get that far.
I, more than anything, am disappointed to have my cynicism confirmed.

This isn’t over and I implore anyone throwing in the towel to cease and desist.

"Over?! Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now! Cause when the going gets tough...The tough get goin'. Who's with me?"

Haha that’s a classic. But how prophetic your quote is regarding the number 1941...
