One of our friends is in recurrent training today in IND and his class was told by the instructor that next month there will be furloughs. I thought it was kind of wrong that he would open his mouth if true. I mean why would you say that to a class?

I find that odd since they had a ton of volunteers to take voluntary leave(but couldn't award them all), willingness to drop monthly hours, willingness to drop trips(but always denied, I know from dh's experience. He tries to drop and it comes back a big NEGATIVE).

So, with all this willingness couldn't they adopt what FEd Ex would do and just give everyone a piece of the pie, just not as much? I mean, they are still going to have to pay insurance for the employees, right? So, why not keep them all active?
