XJT furloughed after 9/11 and in 2008. I was one of the 347 pilots who took up to a 2 year vacation.
You can work wherever you want.
The CBA has certain steps that need to be followed before furloughs.
To be blunt no ones job is safe in the 121 world. UA is expecting to be 70/80% of it’s pre-corona size. They also believe it will take 2-3 years to recover. We have 13000 pilots on our seniority list. Do the math. I expect to hit 10/1/2020 when the provisions of the stimulus expire. The size of the UEX fleet is tied to mainline size. There will be plenty of pain for everyone and what aviation jobs are available will be tough to get.
