We'll start with those who appear on "no fly" lists the most, then work our way down. This is great brainstorming. :D

Maybe we can have a company wide email sent out and guys could vote on who should go......:eek: Boxes could be setup at checkin at each base and every pilot can enter 10 names. those with the most votes go first!

Let's throw in 4 judges, and the highest vote will take the PERP!

DCI guy on the outside looking in..... I thought that DALPA signed a No Furlough LOA that allowed the DCIs to get more flying =(

BTW just to clarify... this LOA was no furlough = more flying at DCIs.... so if they do furlough, you guys get to take back some scope, right?

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.

Note: 757 here I come

I agree, but I think that it will be a small furlough at first. (less than 200) If the economy does not recover we will see a much larger second wave. (Personal opinion warning)

Other airlines will also be in the same situation. Capacity cuts.

Maybe I just have a different take on the situation, but personally, I'd rather be gainefully employed at my stagnant regional and be able to pay my bills, rather than be furloughed on some mainline seniority list clipping coupons and collecting unemployment, wondering if the repo man is going to show up in the middle of the night. Anyone who has a job in aviation at this time (Regional or Major) is extremely fortunate, and no matter where you may be (Regional or Major), you have it better than someone on the street. This is my point. Good luck to all on furlough everywhere, and I hope this economy turns around soon and we can all be back in the sky soon.
