Delta Furlough?

[Little Bubba]

Heard a rumor today about DL cutting a big batch of pilots as of Jan 31st . Anyone else heard the same thing?

Delta Furlough

Little Bubba:

The DAL MEC message e-mailed out today said that 30 would be furloughed on January 1, 2002 and 30 more on January 31, 2002. Hopefully they won't get near the 1700 Delta keeps throwing out to the press.

Holy crap! I thought I was re-living the whole post-9/11 downturn over again!

Um... have you not been paying attention? Continental, NWA, US Airways, UAL... all furloughing. JetBlue lowered the cap to keep from having to furlough. Even your own illustrious carrier is floating rumors of furloughs. Even some commuters are furloughing.

This downturn is going to be as bad, if not worse, than the post 09/11 downturn.

Sadly, you are indeed correct.
