I'll say it again............................
All furloughs on property by April 2010. Not before.
I am to the point where I just hope we get back at any time in 2010. I started thinking about it, we are supposed to have 3 more airplanes on property end of 2010 than we did end of 2008 after they started cutting and furloughed. In the peak of the summer in 2008, we had about 24 more airplanes than we will have end of 2010, now the mix will obviously be different, some bigger airplanes compared to 2008. However, 24 737's = 240 guys that won't be needed in 2010 compared to end of 2008. There were 150 early retirements, and supposedly there have been some more guys retiring or no longer on the list for whatever reason, I was told 50. So, its hard to say how many more pilots they are really going to need to fly summer 2010 schedule, plus the 60 COLA's will be coming back. I think without more retirements, we might be in trouble. Not trying to be pessimistic, just realistic. Any other ideas?
