I agree. Not cost effective at all to furlough the way the list looks. Theres not even one S5 downgrade and like 50 FO's. Explain to me how they are gonna pull that off by 9/1 (training, displacments etc.) Smells like bull$#!t to me.

It's their(RAHs)problem, not yours. Furlough by seniority, end of story, no ifs ands or buts.

If the nonrev gods smile upon me tomorrow here in TPA and I get back to CVG early in the morning, hopefully I can get some info on where we're all going, as I've been out of the loop a while...

If they furlough everyone on the list by Sept. 1st there won't be near enough F/O's on the Shuttle side. I'm not saying it's a bluff, but something doesn't add up. I guess we'll know in six weeks.

Trust me if they have a problem they'll make it ours sooner or later.

I'm not trying to spread false hope I'm just wondering if there is more going on here than we know.
