Damn you beat me to it!!!

To: All ACY/FLL/LGA/SJU First Officers
From: Jim Monahan, SR Director—Crew Resources
Date: 6/16/08
Subject: Voluntary Furloughs
Effective August 1, 2008, Spirit will be reducing the size of the FLL Pilot Base by
twenty (20) Captains and twenty-five (25) First Officers. These changes will result in the
involuntary furlough of approximately forty-five (45) First Officers system-wide. As
some of the most junior First Officers in the system currently hold flying positions in the
above specified bases, pursuant to Section 23 A.2., the Company is soliciting “voluntary
furloughs” from First Officers at those bases.
The number of actual system-wide furloughs for AUG will be reduced by the amount
of any voluntary furloughs awarded.
Please accept my election to be granted a Voluntary Furlough effective August 1,
2008.

Almost 10% of the pilot group puts it in perspective a bit better. It's a decent size cut for the Spirit guys.
