How many furloughs/losses by fall?

[SilverandSore]

Not trying to offend the masses, but how many furloughs/losses do you think we're looking at by November 08?

By my count, since January or so of this year, we're over a 1000 already. That's ATA, ABX, Aloha, Champion, Sun Country, DHL, PSA and a few others.

To tag along to that make sure and thank alpa national for upping the age 60 retirement for the impending "pilot shortage."

How many do you guys think that Delta alone will furlough?

How many over 60 guys are still flying? Compare that to the number of 300 hour wonders hired in the last 2 years. I'd say when every regional out there was hiring sub 500 hour guys, that that would qualify as a 'shortage'. Has that situation turned around...oh yeah.

Maybe the same number as the military will lay off as a result of the incoming democratic president.

Don't worry clown, I will save you a spot in the unemployment line.

Hey, the junior-most TWA pilots have been out almost 7 years already. Even the mid seniority TWA guys have been out 5+.
