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

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

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.
