Beaver, why would you say rumors are flowing about furloughs????? Haven't see that happen on the Polar side and given all the insecurity in the times right now to throw something like that out there, once again, discredits your postings. What a bunch of B.S. If it happens it happens but to spread rumors is crap and you know it.
Last I saw DHL giving back the two airplanes to Atlas and they are already signed into a deal. Don't take my word for it, listen to conference calls, read SEC filings, etc. ANA has been snooping around and possibly the customer. Down side of that they did say that "C" checks are being looked for grounding airplanes vs. the "D" check. And last but not least . . . we were supposed to go back to three bases (JFK, ANC, LAX). There has been no such letter for the bid so who knows.
Don't speculate and put peoples' lives in shock . . .keep it factual and life is better.
Amazing what people will say. No wonder we're just a bunch of pilots, F.E.'s and managemnet CEO wannabees.
