The Union finally send out an e-mail regarding the furloughs. About time! I guess they are still in negotiations with management about working out some voluntary furloughs and extended benefits. I am not getting furloughed, but I hate to see anyone out of a job, and hopefully the union will come through and get some better benefits for the people affected.
I'm still trying to be optimistic here and hope that DL has a plan. I hope the furloughs are just temporary. I still think the whole Freedom flying might be a way for DL to get some hard number to slap in front of the judge to show them why they canceled their contract. Comair brings in billions and billions of dollars of revenue for DL, and I hope Comair will stick around after the merger. Right now, it seems like DL doesn't care about us, it would be like Delta buying a car for 2 billion dollars (Comair) and just letting it sit in the garage and rust. For some reason I don't see that happen. Again, I'm trying to be optimistic here, glad I still have a job for now and hope the furloughs will be a temporary thing.
