A few CMR guys moved on to the purple tailed freight outfit and a few to Brown in '05-'06. I'm MEM based and another CMR guy hired a few months ahead of me is HKG (Hong Kong) based -he bid it. As for me I do miss both the flying and the people at CMR as they were almost all good but I'm loving it here. Keep looking and I think hiring will start to open up at a couple good places during this year.

Possibly....but what surprises me is, why bother with a voluntary furlough?. Although it may save them a little more in salaries (higher seniority average versus invol furloughs), they know those guys want to come back (mostly) due to their seniority/longetivity. That tells me: A) the furlough may not happen at all. Or B) If it does, it'll be for a very short time. Company may want to "hold on" to some folks due to natural attrition and possible growth after the contract is finalized (see the added hours for the summer). Also, the fact that now Sep 01 is the earliest date for furloughs is quite intriguing. Btw, that date has moved around 4-5 times this year alone.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but to me it is quite telling.

Voluntary furloughs is not an indication of anything positive going on with the Comair. We are downsizing to the number of aircraft stated by management. The reason for all the changes in the number and date of furloughs is due to an increase in attrition.
