Excellent post FlyDeltasJets! As one of the potential 1,400 to be furloughed, I too had rather be furloughed than give concessions. I am quite used to the confrontation from management however, hearing other pilots' talk of degrading the profession is truly a shame. Can someone please explain to this engineer, with no business experience why TWA continued to lose money in the mid to late 90's while the other majors were making billions and TWA pilots' made roughly 60% of the pay their counterparts made at the profitable carriers. Please enlighten me.
