Fantastic use of hyperbole. At most we saved 2000 furloughs UNTIL June. After that it’s anybody’s guess. I’m going with 2007 in June and we we keep on trucking lethargicly under this new LOA for the next 1 1/2 years.

That’s the beauty of commentary here though. Someone be able to dig this up in 8 months and proclaim they’re prediction was correct. Maybe a sort of vindication for the no voters who saw it coming.

mark your calendar! It is going to be a big day for you! Keep that Champaign cold.

sweet sweet vindication.....man what a great day that will be when 2007 of our pilots are out of work....Im sure we will be able to see your smile from miles away as you bask in the glow of being a giant DB who rubbed being right in the faces of all those who will be downgraded displaced and let go.

It’s a 2 way street buddy. You haven’t stopped gloating since this LOA passed. How many are making 35 hr MPg while you collect 90hours captains pay sitting wb fo?

You’re good fortunes are earned off the broken backs of others. Enjoy you’re just reward.

A couple of things come to mind...

Maybe you should read the latest Crew Resources that just came out?

Also, when you have approximately 13,000 pilots and you’re only flying 37% of your staffed schedule, it’s simple math...

Wait a second... carry the 1 and add the 2... wait that’s not it!!! Wait, let me take off my shoes... Ugh, pilots doing math in public!!!

Wait it’s simple... 13,000 x .37= 4810 pilots needed.

You guys are wasting your time with this one. He's very likely been banned from the other forum (easy to see why) and has come here because the new forum that was created is a dead echo chamber. Same MO - argumentative and loves to twist others' statements into something completely different than what they said.
Basically a bloviating british troll living under a bridge in ORD.

That’s great...so what’s your prediction. That is what this thread is about. Are you suggesting 8,190 furloughed?

There’s definitely a CAPS LOCK under that bridge.

I’ve toned it down...

Nope, 6000-7000 is somewhat reasonable though. More realistic would be 5000-6000.

Look at the bright side ... if the airline were to shutdown, everyone ... I mean EVERYONE ... would be in the same boat ... no one would have something you don’t have. Maybe you need to hope for that.

I have worked for 2 majors that shut down (had I stayed at ASA that would have lasted long enough ... just long enough) That puts things into perspective. Look at the doughnut and not the hole ... look at the glass that is half full.

I have always counted my blessings every day. YMMV ... just depends on how you look at it.
