The demographics dictate that I'll never be furloughed from Delta unless there is some historic world economic depression. I'm pretty sure we can't negotiate against that. Needless to say, I'm not worried about being furloughed.
Until you have a few thousand pilots on the list junior to you, you are very naïve if you are not worried.
We were hiring just a few months prior to 9-11, and we furloughed 400 guys a few months later, which eventually became over 1000 furloughs.
Think it can't happen again?
