length of furloughs

[Lindy]

I would like to weigh in on this....

I am furloughed from Midwest Express. Although it is not a major, my one-year anniversary furlough date is fast approaching. I know other airlines offers recall rights for 7 years (or better), MidEx is only offering two years.

The doom and gloom of the daily news report is starting to wear thin....

Well, at NW life is a roller coaster. Up until a week ago we had a recall scheduled for next April. That was based on everything staying stagnant. Unfortunately, the econonmy got worse and it took those plans out.

This is just a guess, but if the economy has truly reached the bottom or at least stay the same then we should be looking at a recall at the end of 2003 or beginning of 2004 timeframe. Attrition is sitting around 200/yr. NW had already cut the pilot list to bare bones months ago so as these guys go out the door they will recall.
