|  Latest bad news..... Apparently the Midwest pilots are saying that the company has announced 35 pilot furloughs and 22 displacements from CA to FO. That represents about 9% of the pilot group getting furloughed.

| Re: Latest bad news..... College friend of mine works there, was on reserve, so he probably got furloughed. Lucky for him though, he has a June class date with Net Jets. |

That's as bad as getting Skyway and Skywest mixed up. FWIW, I hear Air Midwest (Mesa Express) is closing up, too. Any truth to it? | |
