It's a very true statement. Both Pilots and F/A's are affected.

Found this statement on APC (from company email):

Effective immediately we are implementing furloughs and a reduction in force that will be felt throughout the company. These actions will include indefinite furloughs for pilots, flight engineers and flight attendants as well as a reduction in force for a number of maintenance personnel and administrative staff. Affected employees have been notified today.

Is this party due to the war being over in Iraq? I know when the war started that's why I got a job there. Sorry to hear about the furloughs, good luck guys.

If they are laying people off, why does the corporate website still show an open FO position? Darn, just when I thought I may fit in somewhere!!!!

Hire until you furlough, furlough until you hire.
