It does not do alot of good to count the numbers now. It is just going to get bigger I am afraid.
Should change gears and try to find a way to find something postive, well anything than counting furloughs.
But not to discount your post, it is an indicator of how bad things are shapping up for the rest of this year.

Not to pick on you, but you haven't been around the airline business long have you,? Might I suggest you read "Flying the Line, Vol. I, II, and III." Also a good one is "Hard Landings." Ever since De-Regulation, pilots have shown up for work to find airlines shut down, doors locked, planes repossessed, and paychecks bouncing. It's the nature of the game and we are but grist for the mill. The best defense is to be optomistic but plan for the worst.

and what's scary, is the 4000 doesn't include all the guys from ATA, aloha, etc....i think it was listed at a minimum of 1000 furloughs from the ATA guys alone....i also have a feeling things are going to get worse, i'd expect to see more problems over here at trans states in the future, maybe chautauqua, and eagle also given the mess we're all going through with american....dark clouds ahead.
