My question was I wonder what number becomes the break even point and if they have reached that with this 19 hour deal.
Yeah, I probably was unclear. I may have misunderstood you as well.
From the company point of view, it makes sense to get as many pilots on leave as possible.
From a pilot point of view, I don’t think we are helping avoid furloughs by taking leaves. If the leave works for you personally, I’m all for it, but I don’t believe that these short term leaves will have any effect when the decision comes on whether to furlough or not.
