That's all I got.

Hasn't the schedule already been set through the Summer. What would they do change the Comair flights back to Freedom flights?

Nobody is going to get furloughed! We're all going to be buzzing around JFK with our brand spankin' new Q400s in a few months flying 8 legs a day between JFK and BDL!

I think there were, maybe, 75 involuntary furloughs. Can't quite recall. They needed about 200, so that means 125 took voluntary furlough.

The furlough happened in January and everyone was back on property by May.

True... they are probably going to drag us to the table and whittle away from our contract... or what's left of it after it got pulled out of the bankruptcy washing machine.

Yeah. Let's start spreading that rumor.
I'd have no shame in flying around a Q.

In reality the schedule changes weekly. Network planning sends out weekly bulletins to all the stations. The bulletins contain flight schedule changes and eqipment changes

I would not be suprised if they tried. However, I think they know they won't get any physical, tangible $$$ out of it, but they could try and whittle down the work rules to get more work out of us for the same amount of $$$. We still have the best contract among regionals and lots of mainline carriers when it comes to work rules.
