Thank you for pointing this out. eaglefly thinks that any pilot hired by mainline anytime in the next decade has a risk of being furloughed. Given the epic number of retirements coming and he thinks furlough is a concern. We could have another 9/11 style attack and a Great Depression, simultaneously and they still wouldn't need to furlough. AA is losing close to 10% of their pilots per year for the next 15 years. Look kids, this is what an idiot looks like.
