I think we can all agree that would be the best thing for everyone. As much as I would love to see it, I doubt it will ever happen though unfortunately. I'm very interested to see how the scope situation shakes out with the CO/UA merger.
wild thought eh?

I see a strong similarity in attitudes I suppose - being to lazy to actually do things the right way. The difference though IMO is that Eddie here was just dim and Kirby is like a 10 year old spoiled child that just couldn't be bothered to clean his room.

What does saving 2 million have to do with recalling pilots? By my calculation that 2 mil pays 250 GPUs. You don't pay for an item that isn't needed just because you found some cash laying around.

I guarantee there are dozens of examples we can find where senior managers at Airways could save the company money - but instead opt to 'take it easy' because they feel secure enough in their jobs. Why focus on the expenses when you KNOW that your revenue will return this year?

How many air conditioning carts would that $2M buy?

Thats true, and I agree you don't recall 55 furloughs just because you saved $2M. BUT, it serves as an example of how the senior management at Airways is incapable of running a profitable airline. They aren't willing to go through the 'stress' of running an efficient company and because of that the hardworking folk who have been furloughed stand that much less of a chance of returning to work here any time soon.

How much money would be saved if pilots shut down their APUs, when properly equipped with air and power? Over one year, a lot more than 2 million I bet.
It would by 200 air conditioning cart, but you'd need to hire some rampers to hook them up with at least 5 kinks in the hose.
