Besides.....your lack of faith in the american people is unsettling.

I have total faith in the American people (with a capitol "A" thank you), but I have absolutely NO faith in the Federal Government who is totality screwing this nation along with our careers. The aviation business is in lock step with the health of the economy. This subject is totally on topic. Get your head out of the sand and stop worrying about who is furloughing and for how long, and start studying the cause of the furloughs.

The total pilots on the street is over 9000. Someone did the math in another forum and this was maybe 2 months ago so it does not include the latest updates. There were roughly 1500 corporate and charter pilots on the street nationwide, and that number has grown as well since someone last did the math.

Astar will have about 350 furloughed on March 6th, 2010. We've already been notified.

I've seen this mentioned before, but I think it bears repeating. Those retirement numbers assume no growth in the industry and no early retirements. Remember, the furloughs and capacity reductions we saw this past year were based on financial disaster. That hasn't happened and it's likely not to happen.

So the new adjusted total with Alaska, CAL, UAL, Comair, Mesaba, Mesa & Piedmont corrected =

7396 Furloughed Pilots.

Actually, CAL's furloughs are at 147.....not 174.

Comair goes to 360 on January 1, 2010.

And I'm sure there won't be many sick calls over Christmas, either.
