Delta
United
Continental
northwest
jetblue
Virgin America(may cease operations)
Air Tran

At 120 per barrel, NO ONE is immune.

with the exception of FEDEX and UPS!!!!!!!!!!! They will hurt, but not to the extent to furlough.

You know Omar, not sure how it was over at Skywest, but during the Colgan ALPA drive I had a ton of guys tell me that they were not voting for a union because...

"...colgan is a place where you get your time fast and move on to a major. I won't be here longer than three years before I move on. Why would I pay 2% at this level when I am not here for a long time?"

Looks like they might be wrong!
