From the mailbag:
Cuts as high as 50% in some departments, but the good news is that none of the fuckheads who got the company on the rocks are affected. It was all lower-paid, junior employees.
They’re keeping people on for a month or so and giving a max of 10% severance.
First Bitches!

The US Airways plane that crashed into the Hudson River is representative of banking. It was going from new york to charlotte but sank en route.
Did they wipe out all of the FMPs?

Is there ever any other outcome – the grunts become cannon fodder. Always

Charlie Gasparino reporting that he has sources in the cockpit telling him that everything is fine.
IT’s at 57th Street. Ferries tryign to rescue people and throw out life preservers. Good Christ, that water must be cold.
Apparently bird sucked into engine, shut down both engines (?? this is what WABC is reporting), pilot made controlled landing.
Prepare for impact.
16 – classic!
@18 The Pilot(s) should get balls of steel award. This could have been much worse.
17 HILARIOUS
@20…good pilot because had wings hit water first the plane would’ve spun and broken apart…
from a press report: “Temperatures at the time of the crash in the city were just about 20 degrees, with the water temperature likely much colder.”
uh, no.

US Airways flight #1549 (an Airbus A320) from New York, NY (LGA) to Charlotte, NC (CLT) crashed into the Hudson River today (January 15, 2008) around 3:30pm EST, less than six minutes after takeoff. The maximum altitude was 3200 feet before the aircraft began a descent into the water.
Plane appears intact. Helicopters and ferries responding. FAA is reporting all passengers are out of the plane, and a secondary search is underway.
Early unconfirmed reports are that the aircraft hit a flock of geese. CNN reports that a pilot of the airliner reporter a bird strike after takeoff.
Developing.
it’s fluid.
wideclops is a free agent, she has no allegiance to any bank…
