PDT to furlough 200+ pilots?

Parker said this during the FA crew news 08/27/09 on the last question:

"We have to furlough a few hundred Piedmont pilots..." Don't they have only 450 pilots?

Sounds like he plans on parking the Piedmont planes that are flying in LGA once that deal goes down.

When the slot transaction came out, LGA was told it would affect about 300 ramp and gate agents, I think that was what Parker was getting at.

However Pilots are getting furloughed 30 this October and I think 30 more in Nov. The way things are going at Piedmont, Parker may have just let it slip what the future holds.
