Not to bring dreaded politics into this, but.....
It's an $85 billion cut from a $1.8 TRILLION discretionary budget. Do they really need to furlough safety-related personnel OR is it politics to scare the public?
I'm betting on the latter,
GF

The Administrator said that a VAST majority of the 47,000 employees would be furloughed. If ATC is in on the cuts then we aren't betting we are spared; though scare tactics certainly crosses the mind from time to time. It is a scuttlebutt rich topic!

Since you didn't ask about ASIs in-particular, I'll add to this thread with what my office is being told.
Furlough will be by seniority within the office, but it isn't like an airline furlough for at least permanent employees.
There will be furlough days. Maximum of 2 days per pay day, minimum of 1 per pay day.

Disregard anything I said about furloughs and such then within the office. I have no idea how a FSDO might handle the staffing/furlough issues.

Well, that's a LONG story for another time, however the short answer would be NO!
I have a grand plan in my mind for the future, that Jimbo can share with you, or if your around the "Fed Cafe" next month we can meet for lunch?

Let me know when you are back on town.
I'm doing two trips a month for the next few months so I should certainly be around at some point.

I looked at this, and am going to scale back. Currently, my monthly expenses are app. $2000. If I use the same ratio as above, that comes to $.06. Six cents! Once per month, I will leave one scoop of coffee out of the filter.
