Oh btw it will be extremely hard to furlough out of order, as in liquidation hard, so please don't start that rumor again.
I think the company will push hard for an out of order furlough. All of their cost savings will be eaten up in training costs with huge new realignments if they don't. I'm sure that is exactly what they will tell the judge. If they don't furlough out of order the whole airline will shut down, what do you think the judge is going to say to that argument? Delta/United aren't going to write a check for another 20 million to retrain. I guess we will find out soon enough.
