let’s see what happens then...

Not to mention furloughing would most likely remove a lot of yes votes from any future memrat. A big company incentive to delay the furlough.

I turned down at least 3 weeks of orders for septmeber (and maybe a fourth) becuase I told my guard base september would be the last time for a year or two I would touch a Delta jet. I think the company owes us a little something for their wishy washy-ness.

To be sure, I started off feeling bad for managment and what crap show covid is. Not so much anymore.
