Senior management has probably already started looting the company out the back door in preparation for heartfelt tearful announcement.

This time I am sure Jeff will line his pockets well, he surely learned that at NWA from those above, and he is about as full of scruples as Joseph Stalin.

I would say that is what NK mngt. wants the pilot group to think it is going to happen.

That way when they ask for concessions....... well you can figure the answer

Just remember, the chapter(s) are still being written, "shinning star".

We have an 18 months fuel hedge, so i wouldn't worry too much about the furlough. Let's just hang on and we'll make it through........Don't forget that the threat of a furlough is never good for the pilots morale. Just keep the faith. Our new ALPA guys will do a good job.

Thanks for the positive spin!! Us new guys need it!!! Also that seems to be what is being echoed from Indigo. Im keeping good thoughts.

Any time the company gets word the pilots are afraid of a furlough they use it to their advantage.

I think we have all heard those rumors. Goes hand in hand with us getting A330's for long haul legs to Brazil or farther south. Basicly never gonna happen.
