This could definitely be a bad thing. However, I am impressed that the company released this info to us before we found out through a local newspaper. Honest communication is something that the company lacks. I wonder if Delta came to Mesaba and said, "we are dropping these eight cities". I wonder who's idea it was to go to the DOT and ask for subsidies. If it was Mesaba, then good job for fighting for the cities.

He called me as well, what a stand up guy! Always enjoyed flying with him. I'm glad someone atleast took the time to give us a better idea of what to expect. He said nothing's written in stone, but from the numbers he has seen that November is an accurate guess.

I think that if you are in the bottom 230 on the list I would make sure I have a backup plan going by now. The economy is not going to turn around for still some considerable time and even when it does its gonna be awhile before demand will increase to 2007 levels. No one really knows what will happen and when it will but one thing is for sure. XJ is overstaffed and overstaffed by 230 pilots. It does not save the company nor delta any money by keeping those 230 pilots on payroll if they will do nothing.

Oh yeah, Dale called and told me to expect sometime in October for the furlough. I'm around the bottom of the TBD part of the list.
