Where do you get 400 furloughs from? So far its 206 on furlough with up to another 120 more. My math says thats 326 but I didn't use a calculator so someone should probably check my work lol.

No, you're right. It's 326. I was just being general. By the time these furloughs go through I am guessing you will see a bunch of guys that wind up being the most junior active pilots quit. So it will most definitely feel like 400, if not more. During the BK the company kept puting out information and saying things to keep us optomistic. Talking about how we would come out the other side in a position to grow and be competitive. Since then, our cost savings have gone into bonuses for the Execs and now they have shown that there are no plan for us.

We should find out where the extra ground equipment is going as we stop using it.

If I quit, what happens to the money I've been paying ALPA for the merger fund? Can I call the MEC office and have them send me a check?

It actually goes into my 1-15-07 class. If my math is correct that would make me the very last guy on property. Time to quit.
