Those will need to be filled with pilots not currently on the property. Stay tuned. Fluid situation.
I think it was officially 203 furloughs. Last I heard from Council 44, 137 pilots have committed to returning. 171 of the 202 furloughs have been on furlough for over 10 years. 32 pilots have been on furlough for less then 10 years.
You are correct about the flow ups, but I wonder if they may hold some of those guys down(after issuing them a seniority #)in order to maintain operational integrity at Compass.
