300 FAs would be HUGE, and would probably signal a ton more pilots...I think there are around 900-950 FAs, so 300 would be over 1/3rd of all of em (if you're adding to the 75 that are already on furlough).

I don't see it anywhere on the "inflight" section of epic..so i highly doubt this is true.

Did you hear from a F/A, or another pilot?

Have pride in what you do and ask for what you deserve. You guys make me sick.
The fact that you are selfish enough to you wish for fellow pilots to lose their jobs makes me sick.

Wow... I am the only short call reserve in CVG50 that is available for the rest of the day... everybody else has trips and is sitting ready. Tomorrow I go 1 in 7 so they really cant do anything with me anyway. Today is going to be interesting. With most rsv's breaking guarantee and one at 97 hours for the month... I guess we need to furlough more.

I would never wish on any pilot to lose their job. Where do you see that on my post? You must be smoking something!

From Epic:

Base Structure
Currently, we have approximately 920 flight attendants at Comair — 700 in CVG and 220 in JFK. In February 2009, we project to have approximately 630 flight attendants in CVG and 130 flight attendants in JFK. In terms of total block hours, there is a projected decrease of 3,400 hours from August 2008 to February 2009. This represents a 19.5% reduction.
