Super,

Not to be negative but I believe we have reached the breaking point...... I know some have stated that they will not furlough if it will be for less than 24 months. But history has shown us different. I believed DAL was going to furlough pilots even before this capacity reduction, and now with this announcement I feel this is just the nail in the coffin.
We'll see, hope for the best plan for the worst. I'm not a doom and gloom type but believe me i know furloughs are ALWAYS a possibility in our industry, even in the good times. ;)

this may or may not make you feel better, but I would rather be furloughed from DELTA, than be a 3rd year XJT F/O with no career progression in sight...........

My hope is DALPA doesn't sell out the junior guys to retain perks for the senior.

Note: 757 here I come
If they do furlough, does that "flush" Compass? If so, is that our foot back into the 76 seat market? Ie. Mainline guys flying 76 seaters?

Ok. I know. I'm getting way ahead of myself. Sorry.

New K Now <+++++ (going to find some of those PERP apps to print out to put in the older guys mailboxes.)
