Well... the folks at
AIR, Inc., also dropped us a summary of the latest Pilot Furlough
stats and while the numbers aren't getting much worse, they don't
seem to be getting a whole heck of a lot better.
With an expected hiring/re-hiring thaw coming in the coming year
(and continued improvement in travel bookings), we're expecting
significant improvement for 2004.
We'll keep you up to date as the situation progresses. Cross
your fingers for improvement, folks...
