OK, let's go with 3,000 furloughs.
- What are you basing your furlough numbers on? I'd like to see some math, staffing levels, and the rationale for the numbers. Bear in mind, the loudest complaining about overstaffing has come from the line swine - not the company.
- How long will this downturn last? Consider the changes in the past 2 weeks, let alone past 2 months and going forward.
- By furloughing, are you committing to ceding the market share to our competitors who outsource their work and how do you intend to ensure that Southwest is competitive while keeping people furloughed? Do you cede scope in order to let Southwest be able to keep our market share?
- What is the breakeven savings point in time of any potential furlough and what factors are you basing it on?
- What do you think is our training capacity and once recalls become appropriate, how long do you think it would take to run 3000 pilots through the recall process?
