I've actually heard rumors that there will be more furloughs in September. Don't shoot the messenger, but I do not think Republic will hire for a few years. It is now officially a shrinking airline with very little attrition. It's kind of like the legacies without the pay, work rules, or benefits.

Furloughs in september wouldn't surprise anyone. The not hiring for a couple of years statement is way off. Things change very quickly in this industry. Republic could go from furloughing to hiring in less than a month. Or they could go out of business. No way to tell.

heres a thought...it could be because republic doesnt recognize us as furloughed, according to them we are terminated with rehire preference so by republics screwed up thinking (you know the one, it justifies having outstation bases instead of hub bases) there are no furloughs!

Actually they are running a skeleton crew of FO's until the crj's and some erj's peel off. They didn't want bring people back just to furlough them and the expense involved. Upside, I would think it would reset the unemployment clock for another 26weeks.
