Briefing from local union council. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this or not.

Did I miss the summary of NWA in this? "A look at the developments at other airlines throughout our system tells the story: Skybus – Liquidated. Maxjet – Liquidated. EOS – Liquidated. Gemini Air Cargo – Liquidated. ATA – Liquidated. Aloha – Liquidated. Silverjet – Liquidated. Astar (contracted by DHL) – All flying (and none of the pilots) transferred to UPS Midwest – MD80’s, the most senior aircraft, grounded. Furlough out of seniority, 40 percent pay cut proposed for remaining pilots. Spirit – Furloughing beginning August 1. Frontier – In Ch.11 Bankruptcy protection. Announced 17 percent capacity cut on June 25. United – Announced grounding of 100 mainline jets resulting in 950 pilot furloughs. US Airways – 300 furloughs planned for September, (175 West, 125 East). American – Furlough recalls stopped. 1,979 pilots still on furlough. Continental – On June 24, pilots reached agreement to limit furloughs by voluntary leaves of absence and retirements. AirTran – On July 2, 2008, announced pay reductions of 5-15 percent and possible furloughs. AirTran recently raised cash through a stock offering and debt conversion to push off difficult but likely inevitable strategic decisions. Growth at AirTran is virtually nil, at this point, with a five percent capacity cut planned for September."
