Not saying that will happen, but it also isn’t far stretched that AAG would try something like that. Airlines don’t care about anything other than survival right now and will likely stop at nothing to survive. I hope no one gets furloughed, but I wouldn’t count on it being a guarantee that guys won’t. Have a plan And if you don’t need it, great! At least you had one.
