True, unless they decided to furlough before SOC. I am sure that if they decide to they can delay SOC to do so.

Is the DAL side still considered to be "overstaffed"?

Last I looked we were slightly "overstaffed." Its a small margin, and a furlough wouldn't be justified by cost of flowback.

thats what i figured, it looks like both sides are just realigning the fleets and bases.

Beat me to it Peanuckle.

We are overstaffed buy such a small margin. How the loads are the next two months will determine if there is a need for further capacity reductions.

Now this is our slowest time of the year.
For example. The flts this weekends to Dallas had 70+ seat open on each flight, but the return flights to ATL on Friday were full. With loads being so hit and miss, it is really hard to forecast future loads.
