That's from the release..so you figure slightly above that.

Why would they offer buyouts and not just furlough?

you'll get your vacation pay if you give them two weeks.

I'd say it guaranteed they will be trying to get all three unionized groups to take pay cuts on the upcoming contracts. Time to start looking out of KY I guess...anyone know of nice areas around GSO for a family? I had a offer from a job there but couldn't take it due to a family situation.

I flew for Comair for 9 years. I hope that all of the effected employees find a company that will treat them like the aviation professionals they are. Delta once again proves what kind of company they really are.

Their main goal is to cut costs. Buyouts will lower their cost more than a furlough will. A buyout is a set cost and a furlough is just a prolonged pause which still ends up costing them much much more in the long run.

Why the heck would they recall to furlough.
Good luck to all.

Probably the same reason they hired to fire a few years ago. Comair tries to plan with the info that they have (Which is almost no info) and then Delta drops the info on them to reduce numbers.
