No. There are 119 DFW ATR pilots flying the line right now. The 20 furloughs were all in the Dec 5 new hire class. It will be 119 displacements IF the ATRs are returned to the leasing company and most likely an equal number of additional furloughs.
Furloughing out of seniority is 100% rumor right now and nothing else. The company would have to either have our CBA terminated under section 1113(c) or petition the judge to allow them to do it because of the massive training bubble it will create and the cost associated with it. Until something comes down from the courts everyone needs take a chill pill.
The best thing for everyone right now is to stay safe, don't stress out, and listen to the facts, not rumors. I know it's difficult to do, I am struggling with it too but everything is out of our hands right now and getting stressed or speculating doesn't help anybody.
