When is the next election

(...I was in the class right before the first 20 furloughs...sigh)

This is just the beginning of changes and down sizing at Eagle. Sad---but true.

Yup, They will trickle out the furloughs (Here, and at American) for maximum negotiation leverage.

All union leadership needs to be fired, and that letter only makes me sick to my stomach. God help us all.

Sorry to hear what's happening over there guys. It truly sucks.

Has management done anything to offer voluntary leave of absences to help mitigate some of these furloughs?

I have a couple of old students over there who are pretty junior....what DOH do the furloughs go to?
