Most FA's that I talk to about it refuses to take the package, ever. It seems that the only ones that do are the ones that did this for fun, now have a happy family and the hassles of the job are not worth the benefits.
Most say that they do not trust the company to honor their obligations to them. I had one tell me that she planned on being found dead in her hotel room. In essence she would work till the day she died.

Hahahahah!!!! That is the best description of these people I have ever heard. Spent 3 hours on the phone trying to resolve a dental issue this week. Went back and forth between the benefits people and MetLife about 20 times before the Delta people finally said, "That hasn't been updated yet for 2009, so call back in a couple months if it doesn't fix itself." Seriously, that was the answer. Looking forward to three more hours of fun here in a couple of months.

Not sure if that is funny or sad.......

I think I flew with her last week...she's already there.

No kidding, there are a few. They all seem quite bitter too. I would never want to live life that way, but that is just me.

Is that a hint? Should I start worrying again? Before or after SOC?

ACES insisted my wife, wasn't. We have no debt and file our taxes as married filing separately, so we are not married because we don't file our taxes jointly.

Acted like we were trying to cheat the company out of non rev benefits.... Ultimately had to get DL management involved to fix.

It is likely more than a hint. Everything hinges on loads and what the summer looks like from a revenue perspective. Delta is not going to sit around & lose money, they can't.

The problems with training and a flow through might make it unworkable, or at least very expensive to comply with. Delta may sit fat on pilots until the numbers clearly show a furlough would be long enough and deep enough to justify the disruption & cost.

ACL, to paraphrase you, I think at some point in the past several months you've said that nobody (aka "they") was talking furlough. Any insight as to if this has changed?

nevermind
