Brrrrrr on yesterday's throughput. Grateful mgmt loaded up on credit. Hopefully we wont need much of it, but post-holiday numbers appear to be in-line with mgmt's bearish sentiment.

On the other hand, a furlough at a domestic and leisure only airline would be fairly quick I think. Much quicker than some of the others that handle 50% business traffic.

Yep, I’m sure I’ll get furloughed but I’m okay with that as long as I have an airline to go back to!

Same. I sure would love to not be furloughed, but honestly I consider myself blessed just to be on the seniority list here. A lot of people are not so lucky. I feel for all the guys trapped at regionals, and all the guys recently let go from regionals that closed shop this spring.

Anyone here who thinks we won’t furlough is fooling themselves. The real question is, how many....

Some indication of how deep the cuts will go would be nice. I mean, I’m getting my house in order regardless but come on, no one is fooled by the “maybe yes, maybe no” game - may as well be direct.
