Default Eagle to Furlough?

Someone told me that Eagle can't furlough until all their planes are back on property... Such as the 10 145's from TSA. Any truth to this

Well, everybody has a class date for training. Most have already started too. Plus they just came back with the news that they aren't going to retire 29 aircraft but only 19 aircraft. They added 1700 hours of flying in the NE (the number of hours might be wrong). I don't think they will be furloughing but I am just a pilot. They don't tell us these things at Eagle.

I believe they're taking apps, and not interviewing. They've got a pool, and no class dates for new hires as far as I know. Maybe class dates for people moving to different equipment...

Wow

Right, they can't furlough until they get the planes back from TSA....anyone care to guess what they will do to get their company in a position to sell after they get the planes back? For all the complaining eagle guys are doing about getting their planes back, getting the planes on property really hurts their job security

and who would even consider buying one of the most costly regionals? A regional with a LARGE majority of 50 seat aircraft?

We're not that costly. I meant class dates for all the displacements. Nobody would dare buy ANY airline right now plus AMR said they were going to hold on the sale for now.
