There are many hurting more than us currently and we may be joining them yet.
Just so everyone is clear....
New hires have been furloughed (maybe not what the company is calling it). Vto/cpto was denied to us. We were, however, informed by the company that they're sending us invoices for the issued uniform items over the standard (i.e. hat, blazer, etc).
Full benefits (insurance, etc) end March 31.
Did the bailout money say no furloughs? Until August 1 or so? If so, how does Skywest spin this one?
