Well, this ought to be interesting. They certainly won't furlough before SOC, it would be too messy. Guess it's time to start stockpiling some serious cash.

If the merger is saving our bacon, maybe they can throw some my way. I'm in the bottom 150 so I think I'll be taking handouts soon.

Heyas,

Looks like all the cuts were on fDAL metal. I wonder if there will be cuts on fNWA metal later on...

Most are. And if they furlough prior to SOC the cuts will come from this side. It would make sense since we have 700 or so that are able to be cut prior to SOC!

I would think they wouldn't want to do this. What do you think ACL65?

So after SOC, we would have many out of seniority furloughs. Would we/they do anything about that?

Any verification if these are additional cuts or previously announced? Any word on domestic capacity?

Just mainline, or DCI's as well?

That's what I'm wondering also but the 5% looks to be additional. Further claryfication should come from the call. What a great way to start off the day!!

In the long run, it will not even matter. Oil is on it's way back up to $150/barrel, there are no jobs out there, we're in a recession that will turn into a depression, and our government is still spending more than it takes it. The entire economy is going to collapse. The value of the dollar will plummet while inflation will skyrocket. It is not going to be pretty.
