Furloughs
 

What's the over/under of the next major furlough of airline pilots due to an economic issue? 10 years? 5 years?? 1 year???

Wait...I heard there is a pilot shortage coming...what's this talk about the "F" word...I'm supposed to be in the left seat of a 777 in 5-10 years making 250k...I'm confused ;)

Sounding more and more like as soon as Feb 2013... Unless a complete shutdown doesn't count.
Not sounding good at Pinnacle.

really?????

Depends on the fiscal cliff...

Have you seen what's happened to the stock market since around November 6? I would guess sooner than later.

You think the stock market determines how well the economy is doing?

If this M.E. event escalates it may be really soon.
Oil will skyrocket(200USD/bbl overnight),as well as everything else except pay.
Hope it cools off before others start to get involved.

It's one of many factors.

Have you seen what it's done since late 2007?

I hear this every year.

No kidding. They've been predicting $200 oil barrels since 350 B.C.

hopefully you guys are right.

About $200/bbl oil, or hearing it every year?

Theoretically, the stock market is a "crystal ball" into the future. It's a mass collection of emotion that can predict the future, Theoretically.

I think the price of oil is the wrong thing to watch. Look at the price of gold. The higher it goes, the weaker the dollar. The weaker the dollar, the higher the price of oil.

I'm nervous because the dollar is falling against the Euro. No bueno in my opinion. Currencies are becoming weaker. This drives the price of intrinsic properties higher.... Like gold, oil, commodities, etc.
