I just finished recurrent and the union and company folks said the exact opposite, more new hires without any reduction through 2020. Some April reduced hours were coming due to the virus but also the Airbus delivery slow down. Facts, although elusive these days, make for an informed group. I appreciate the previous post using facts to report what is really going on. Common guys/gals.... this is the big leagues. Act like you’ve been there....

That’s a harsh response to flyingpuma1. Specially considering he’s not affirming it will happen. Neither of us know for sure how this story will unfold, nor the company, nor the union. I personally don’t see extremes like furloughs but things could stagnate for a while, at least for our growth standards. It might be short lived though, but sudden drop in demand could rattle us all right. We’re not bullet proofed.
I wouldn’t advise newhires to change their plans. Take the job if offered. Just be cautious with your math. You might stay longer on reserve but hey, that could always be the case right?
