If they pay for my healthcare I'd take some time off. That's the biggest problem for me. I can implement a serious budget cut, it's the medical care that's the problem.

Do I apply now, or wait... apply now... or wait... apply now... or wait.
Sucks waiting to determine what you should've done.

Best guess = 0
Next Best Guess = 300 to 500
Economically we are seeing conditions worse than post 9/11. Fortunately the 2 man jets and outsourcing will not hit us as hard this time.
Market indicators seem to be telling us that the dead cat's bounce has reached its apogee and has begun re-entry. I think the best forward looking indicator for Delta can be seen in the jobs reports. People will fly when they have work and incomes. Bosses will fly to supervise that work.

Apply. But my guess is that if they furlough, most of the Duty Pilot positions will be filled by those guys.

Is there any pressure to have management reduce the number of regional flights between city pairs and let our "mainline" aircraft fly the reduced legs - thus reducing/eliminating the need for fuloughs? Seems if you swapped 2-3 RJ flights for 1-2 MD-88's that might help our pilots stay working if this "downturn" gets any larger!? Sorry if I've completely overlooked the obvious contract/scope/alignment of the planets clauses!?...
