Currently only 2 Q400's flying. They stop at the end of the month.

There simply isn't a huge number of planes to be parked. They are ALREADY PARKED but RAH is still paying the FULL leases on them to the tune of $10million/month. This is the problem. There will be no furloughs, no layoffs. But there will be plenty of leases terminated as well as 145 flying terminated.

There could potentially be a 170/175 contract terminated (read Delta) but those pilots will quickly be transferred to other 170/175 flying. The Delta flying is only 25 170/175's and only 15 of them were flying this month due to lack of staffing.

Even if every plane except for the 170/175 fleet were parked tomorrow, RAH would still be understaffed.

Now that said, I'm not saying all is unicorns, rainbows and lollipops here. There will be tough times as the bankruptcy court, creditors committee and the company hash out an exit plan. I'm simply saying that this notion that many aircraft currently flying must be parked and pilots laid off is purely and simply false.
