[QUOTE="tellitstraight, post: 520671, member: 19159"] On a serious note there were no aircraft maint furloughs announced due to the retirement of the DC8. This is primarily going to affect the pilots. There are 40 flight engineers that are over 65 or are "professional flight engineers" so they cannot fly as FO or Capt - they will be out of a job the end of May. There are an additional 240 Pilots that will be bidding to other aircraft. The issue is we don't need 240 Pilots on the other aircraft so the potential for a Pilot furlough is very real if the company and the IPA don't figure something out. [/QUOTE]
