But people will still be training. I suspect this happens as well but for me to be displaced a lot of guys above me have to come in to push me out. That requires training from A to B or WB B to NB A then A to B again. The fleet size plan for fall of 2020 and beyond will be telling. Looking at May and going forward on reserve with 150 guys on reserve everyday means going to ATL every 3 months. That will be interesting with the training center closed.
It’s a major roll the dice scenario. Keep everyone on the payroll for the spike recovery to grab market share? Furlough 30-40% to get costs under control? Guess wrong on either of those and that is a scenario where a major may cease to exist.
