Furlough? Stop making up crap... the consistent message has been "not enough crew" from union and the data seems to support that. Company still has to take delivery of 5 more Amazon aircraft and 2 more 747s this year. Truth is no more 747 classes this year but 767 hiring wil continue. Regardless, How can they furlough when there's already insufficient manning? Moreover, attrition numbers show us averaging 15 lost pilots per month. No need to furlough if we were overmanned, they could lower manning by just stopping hiring. The current 1 year look back shows hire 4 lose 2 (400 ish hired in last year and 200ish attrition). Let's leave the made up crap to the other side. The truth here is bad enough without fabricating fake rumors of a furlough.
