I guess that may be it
 
I think he is guessing.

Bye Bye--General Lee
 
He is rolling his D&D dice with his other high school friends and making up numbers. But I do think a good number of airlines will be furloughing. God knows management does not want to raise fares.
 
Given what is listed as his "current Position", the numbers were most likely whispered into his ear by whatever dude is giving it to him. (ha,ha)
 
Foregoing the fact those numbers were pulled out of his chocolate starfish, if CAL were to furlough 220, that 220 reduction would have been completely absorbed by the retirements that were supposed to happen this year.

Thank you Age 65....
 
Call me and we can talk about it. I have good insight into the spectrum of airlines.

Regarding JetBlue, anythings possible. But......
If B6 furloughs anyone the company is on the hook for min guarantee for the duration of each pilot's 5 year contract. Translation: if they furlough a newhire they owe him about 4.5 years of pay. If JetBlue shuts the doors that little bit of contract trivia is worthless. We can get in line with the rest of the debtors. Barring that, there's no way the rest of us would allow them to furlough some of us and not pay them IAW our contracts. All hell would break loose. The bottom line is that it would cost JetBlue more to furlough than to keep them.

BTW, our Q1 numbers are out. PRASM up 16.5%; CASM minus fuel down 0.2%, fuel up 40.5%; cash on hand $1B; net loss for Q1 $8M. All in all, not too bad. With everything we could control we did well. Like everybody else fuel killed us. Still, we're fortunate to be treading water, but who knows how long that will last. We're doing okay compared to others our size, but can we survive against even weak legacies? I hope so......

Is this Dionne Warwick of the Phsycic Friends Network?

I thought you guys went out of business. That would explain the trolling Flight Info, trying for the comeback are we?

How much will this call cost me anyway?

ASA Employee Relations has some sort of special insight into airlines?
