30 airplanes parked without replacements, if that gives you any better numbers. You may be right at the fence.

I was afraid of that but with COLAs and early outs, it may work out.

Any idea how long the pain will last if it happens? I hear 18mos minimum.

No, but can that really be predicted?

I heard that we learned from 9/11 that you don't furlough for less than a year due to the costs associated with it. Someone from training told me 18mos minimum.

Ouch! So if they get 250 out of early ret. and COLA will lower numbers be ok? Also, where does this put us on negotiations?

Also. . . Any idea when this is going to happen? FWIW I would be interested in COLA how does it work? Is it also senority based?

Hope you're joking. Have fun driving a VW beetle while they drive you're wages down to nothing. I have worked for a living before. I can do it again. Or....I can also go on active duty orders in the Air Force....Or...I can make money from investing...or....I can make money in rental houses....get the picture??? If we all are saving the money we make and have our money diversified so we'll have more power to stick it to them when needed.
