No one has any idea what is going on. The company has said nothing. The union is spreading BS and getting the pilots all wound up. Truth is, no one has any idea and if they act like they know they are full of stuff. We are currently loosing 5 pilots a month and may not have to furlough at all. Who knows? Absolutely no one on this board.
True, I don't know what's going to happen. Just passing along the generic info provided by the union.
No offense meant, and none taken here.

not that i'm totally impressed with airtran management (some silly mis-speaks by the ceo during the last conf call), i've got to give them credit for finding a way to raise money and increase liquidity under the worst credit conditions in decades (not to mention the worst fuel cost conditions). had management failed to pull that off, airtran would be looking at bk rather than furloughs.
i laughed when i saw the stock/debt offering announced - i thought there was no way anyone would buy into that under today's environment, yet management pulled it off. i'd say there's a good argument that management earned every penny of their compensation.
