I’ve seen zero information on this from our pilot group or the union. Clearly because no one in management, the union or the pilot group cares about anyone other than themselves. It’s what I’ve known to be true since I started working at AS. I’m glad it’s obvious to everyone now.
Gloating on predictions of how bad it will be doesn’t mean much. Other than the fact you rejoice in the misery of others. Congrats you’re a terrible person. You can brag about it to your newly downgraded FO. Show them photos of your boat in the most tone deaf manner possible. Go on for hours, revel in their misery.
Don’t forget to pick up some premium and keep hundreds of pilots out of work. So you can buy a new toy and keep the misery alive and well to make yourself feel better than those around you.
The Delta thread on furlough has quite a few of these posts. It’s pretty obvious to me which is the better pilot group.

This is not the place for that IMO, because somebody could get it wrong (inadvertently or otherwise), and it's anonymous so you'd never know.
Unions have some time to get around to that kind of thing (thanks Uncle!), they frankly have their hands full right now.
In the meantime...
If you're junior (including junior NB CA's), and are too obtuse to realize it on your own: get your finances in order, cut spending, and start saving. Consider selling expensive luxury assets, although now's a bad time for that, probably better to wait until the economy recovers somewhat (you'll still be furloughed). Start thinking about backup jobs. For Uber, they say you really need a hybrid to make any kind of money.
